Grand Réservoir de Vioreau

Tucked into Pays de la Loire, France, Grand Réservoir de Vioreau is a reservoir that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Grand Réservoir de Vioreau should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a reservoir like this down for a day.
