• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Perch take small lures and worms fished near the bottom close to structure. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Lac Kicapou, 0.6 km away. Where Petit lac des Ventres Rouges is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
