It holds true on Lac Robert more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any.
