• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Lac Baudoux, 4.7 km out. None of that is settled for Lac Montboissier in what we hold.
