Eau de Bérard

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