The lake of Montbel is another huge water of 550 hectares with some fantastic fishing to be had with many Carp well over 20Kg and Catfish to over 75Kg and monster Pike and Perch. You can night fish the lake for up to a max of 6 days in a row and you have to fish within 200m of your rods .
As with all French water rules can change at any time so please check on site or local tackle shop for latest rules.
Please note – When fishing any Public waters in France please have respect for the location and clear up any mess that you have made and do not damage banks / vegetation and no open fires, Catch and release all fish except Trout and Salmon that rules let you take and when fishing for Carp use appropriate fishing tackle with large landing net and unhooking mat. Fish stealing is a big problem from Public waters if you see anybody removing large fish like Carp please take note of the vehicle registration and report to authorities.
