Lac d'Anterne is a pristine high-altitude mountain lake in the Alps (1,864m elevation) offering pristine bank fishing for pike, perch, and trout species rather than carp. At just 11 hectares with no night fishing permitted and no boat access, this is a scenic but restrictive venue—best suited to UK anglers seeking a change of pace from lowland carp waters. Located 411 miles from Calais in Haute-Savoie, you'll need a French fishing licence and must contact AAPPMA du Faucigny before your trip, as access restrictions apply to this protected reserve.
