Canal du Mignon

Flowing through Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France, Canal du Mignon is a river that suits anglers willing to walk a bank. Most fish at Canal du Mignon hold in identifiable lies — the same eddies, drop-offs, and shaded undercuts produce trip after trip. After heavy rain, Canal du Mignon can colour up and rise quickly; that's often when bigger predators come out to feed, but wading conditions get dangerous.
