Around 1.3 miles of margin, front to back. For supplies, Lyndon is 4.4 miles out. It is 60 miles to Sherbrooke, the nearest city. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car.
