This intimate 4.2-hectare alpine lake in Haute-Savoie offers bank fishing for brown trout, rainbow trout, pike and perch in a stunning mountain setting—perfect if you're seeking a quieter, scenic escape rather than a dedicated carp venue. As a 1st category water with no night fishing allowed, it's strictly daytime-only fishing, and the no-boats policy means you'll be working the banks exclusively. Note: You'll need a permit from AAPPMA du Faucigny and a French fishing licence; given the 407 miles from Calais, this is best combined with other regional waters rather than tackled as a standalone trip.
Night fishing at Lac des Confins 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).
