• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Lac Bellecombe at 4.9 km is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Petit lac Bellecombe should be assumed from this page alone.
