The Canal de Gap in the Hautes-Alpes region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur offers a peaceful canal fishing experience with good populations of carp, pike, perch, roach, and tench along its scenic stretch between Gap and surrounding areas. Anglers will find this waterway particularly accessible with night fishing permitted and opportunities for bivouac camping, making it ideal for extended fishing trips in the Alpine foothills. A Carte de Pêche (annual licence) obtained through the local AAPPMA is required, and the canal welcomes both boats and anglers seeking a more relaxed setting than faster-flowing rivers.
