La Mouille is an intimate 2-hectare natural lake in the Alps near Geneva, offering pike, perch and tench to bank anglers in a scenic mountain setting. However, this venue is fly-fishing only, so it's not suitable for traditional carp angling methods—you'll need specialist fly gear and experience. At 396 miles from Calais, it's a significant drive, and night fishing isn't permitted, making it better suited to dedicated fly fishers than UK carp anglers. You'll need to contact AAPPMA du Chablais-Genevois for access and current regulations before planning your trip.
Night fishing at la Mouille is not permitted. Night carp not authorised on this lake. Haute-Savoie only permits night carp on 8 specific named lakes (Lac d'Ayze, Lac du Bois des Îles, Lac de Chamonix, Lac de Motte Longue, Lacs des Îlettes, Lac de Machilly, Lac du Môle).
