Climate figures give an open season running late April to mid November. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Petit lac au Lard, 2.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Nothing on Lac Transmission should be assumed from this page alone.
