• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Lac Lena sits 1.5 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Regis for certain.
