About Lac de Nantua

Set in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, Lac de Nantua is a lake that holds the typical mix of warm-water and cool-water species you'd expect for the area.

Early morning and the last hour of light tend to be the most productive windows on a body of water this size.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

  Vary your retrieval speed and add pauses to entice strikes, especially in colder water.

• For European whitefish

  Use a slow retrieve or jigging action, keeping the lure close to the bottom where whitefish often feed; experiment with different depths.

• For Brown trout

  When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
