• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Lac Rachel at 1.1 km is the nearest alternative. Treat Lac Poire as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
