L'Ibie

As a river in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France, L'Ibie fishes best when the flow is steady and the water is clear enough to see a foot or two down. Anglers who do well at L'Ibie pay attention to small things: the angle of the current, the colour of the water, what's hatching, where the wading birds are working. Fly anglers can match local insect activity; spin anglers can run small spinners or soft plastics through the same lies.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common barbel

  Use a swimfeeder with groundbait matching your hookbait to create a scent trail.

• For European chub

  When using lures, vary your retrieve speed and direction to trigger strikes. Chub often hold near cover like overhanging branches or submerged logs.

• For Mirror carp

  Pre-baiting your chosen swim for several days prior to fishing can significantly increase your chances of success when targeting mirror carp.
