• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Lac Marmen at 3 km is the nearest alternative. Where Lac Perdu is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
