Plan d'Amont is a pristine 32-hectare Alpine reservoir in Savoie offering excellent bank fishing for pike and perch alongside trout species, though it's strictly day-fishing only as a 1st Category water. Located 453 miles southeast of Calais in the high mountains, this is a scenic spot for mixed predator fishing rather than dedicated carp work. You'll need to join the local AAPPMA La Gaule Mauriennaise (based in Modane) to fish here, and note that boats are prohibited—bank access only.
At 453 miles from Calais, Plan d'Amont requires a longer journey from the UK, but Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes — one of France's most varied fishing regions, with venues ranging from Alpine lakes to lowland reservoirs — rewards the trip.
