Lac de Gaube

Anglers know Lac de Gaube as one of the lesser-trafficked lakes of Occitanie, France. The standard playbook on a lake this size is to start shallow at first light, work outward toward deeper water as the sun climbs, and circle back to the shallows before dusk. Surface activity at Lac de Gaube is a useful tell — boils, swirls, and rising baitfish point straight at the predator zone.
