• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. For a change of water, Le Marais is 0.6 km distant. None of that is settled for Lac Saint-Pancrace in what we hold.
