Lac de la Lande — This compact 10-hectare reservoir in the Haut-Rhin foothills offers day-only fishing for trout, pike and perch from the bank, making it ideal if you fancy a break from carp to target predators in Alpine scenery. At 306 miles from Calais, it's a serious road trip, but worth considering as part of a wider Grand Est tour rather than a standalone trip. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and AAPPMA card for the local Haut-Rhin/Vosges association.
