• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Public data shows nothing built here, so treat the whole approach as informal. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. If the gate is shut, Lac du Grand Portage at 3.8 km is the nearest alternative. For Lacs Uhatshimin, the notice at the access point is the final word.
