Le Dognon

Le Dognon cuts through Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France and offers classic stream fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Le Dognon — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Northern pike

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

• For European perch

  Vary your retrieve speed and lure depth until you find what the perch are responding to on that day, and use light line.

• For Brown trout

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