Lac des Nettes is a compact, high-altitude mountain lake in Savoie offering day-only bank fishing for trout, pike and perch in pristine Alpine scenery — a refreshing change of pace for carp anglers seeking variety. At 3.62 hectares, it's intimate rather than vast, with no boats allowed, making it ideal for a peaceful, focused fishing trip away from busier lowland venues. Note: this is primarily a trout water rather than a carp destination, so confirm species focus before travelling the 447 miles from Calais; you'll need a French fishing licence and membership with AAPPMA Lacs et Torrents (Bourg-St-Maurice).
Night fishing at Lac des Nettes is not permitted. Night carp not authorised on this lake. Savoie has only 4 designated night carp sites (Plans d'eau du Sauget, Reculfort, Lac d'Aiguebelette, Plan d'eau de Grésy-sur-Isère), all on advance reservation. All other Savoie waters: night fishing prohibited. Source: savoiepeche.com Guide 2026 Anglers must leave the bank before dark.
