Lac de la Vendéenne

Tucked into Terres australes et antarctiques françaises, French Southern and Antarctic Lands, Lac de la Vendéenne is a lake that fishes differently season to season. Spring brings fish into the shallows to spawn or feed on early baitfish; midsummer pushes them to cooler, deeper water; autumn turns them aggressive again as they pack on weight before winter. Anglers planning a trip to Lac de la Vendéenne should check water temperature and recent weather — a sudden cold front can shut a lake like this down for a day.
