Anglers can expect a varied fishing experience ranging from peaceful float fishing in calmer sections to more active lure work for predatory species, with the flexibility of night fishing and the option to camp or use boats to explore different productive areas. A valid Carte de Peche (annual fishing licence obtained through the local AAPPMA federation) is required to fish this water.
