Étang du Moura is a compact 10-hectare reservoir in rural Gers offering solid carp fishing alongside pike and tench on peaceful banks—ideal if you prefer a quieter, intimate venue away from the crowds. Day fishing only means early starts, but the mixed species population keeps things interesting between carp sessions. You'll need an AAPPMA day ticket from the Gers federation; bank fishing access is straightforward, though it's a serious drive at 500+ miles from Calais, so best combined with other south-west venues.
