  We hold no note on access for this one. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Lac Quinn, 0.9 km away. For Petit lac a Foin in particular, ask before you travel.
