La Morthe is a productive river in the Jura department offering diverse fishing opportunities for coarse fish enthusiasts, with healthy populations of carp, catfish, zander, pike, bream, and perch throughout the stretch. Anglers can expect a rewarding experience with night fishing permitted, allowing extended sessions to target larger predatory species in low-light conditions. The river accommodates boats and camping facilities, making it ideal for multi-day fishing trips, though a Carte de Peche (annual fishing licence obtained through the local AAPPMA federation) is required to fish these waters.
