• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Lac Starrs at 2.1 km is the nearest alternative.
