La Venelle

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