This intimate 13.8-hectare reservoir in Aube offers quality carp and tench fishing in a peaceful, undeveloped setting—perfect if you want to escape busier French waters. Day-only fishing from the bank means early starts and finishing by dusk, but the mixed stock (including pike and perch) keeps things interesting. Located 225 miles south of Calais, you'll need the local AAPPMA permit and should contact the Aube federation ahead to confirm current access and any seasonal restrictions.
