Lac de Longet is an intimate 4.8-hectare alpine lake in the high Pyrenees offering pike, perch and tench in pristine mountain scenery — a refreshing change of pace from lowland French venues. Bank fishing only with no night sessions allowed, it's best suited to anglers seeking a quieter, scenic break rather than intensive carp-focused sessions. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and AAPPMA day card from Fédération Pêche Hautes-Alpes; the remote location (496 miles from Calais) demands planning but rewards with solitude and clean water.
Night fishing at Lac de Longet is not permitted. Night carp is not authorised in Hautes-Alpes. The department is dominated by mountain lakes and salmonid waters (1st category) where night carp fishing is prohibited. Verify with peche-hautes-alpes.com if this is a 2nd category lake with a specific parcours designation. Anglers must leave the bank before dark.
Bivouac & overnight camping is permitted at Lac de Longet under standard French fishing law — one rod, within 10m of the water, no open fires.
Required permits & cards: Hautes-Alpes card (non-reciprocal). Verify with peche-hautes-alpes.com.
