• Where to Fish on Lac de la Mauve

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shape of Lac de la Mauve rewards a slow walk along one bank. Read the wind first; it decides which bank is worth walking.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lac de la Perruche sits 0.7 km off and takes the overflow. The position on Lac de la Mauve is worth confirming on the day.
