• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping shows a campsite some 860 m from the water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Lac Moufflet, 0.8 km out. Check the position on Petit lac Moufflet before loading the car.
