Additional Information
Earthworms are prohibited and not necessary for catching fish.
The main source of food for fish is smelt because there are plenty of them in all our lakes and rivers. It is therefore recommended to use fishing lures including spoons and crankbaits that imitate them.
We recommend the use of barbless hook to allow a better release, because you will make several.
A list of effective lures on our territory is available upon request (lures and flies).
If you do not have fishing gear, no worries! We can lend you all the necessary equipment under certain conditions.
N.B.: We limit our reservations to approximately 100 guests annually to provide 5 star service and keep this unique site as it is.
Pleased to welcome you,
