La Vieille Thur is a productive Alsatian stream in the Haut-Rhin department flowing through the Grand Est region, offering excellent opportunities for trout, grayling, and coarse fish species including barbel, chub, and dace across varied habitat. Anglers will enjoy the flexibility of night fishing and can bring boats to access different stretches, with a fishing experience ranging from technical fly work in faster sections to conventional methods in slower pools. A Carte de Peche (annual fishing licence) obtained from the local AAPPMA is required, and the river's accommodation-friendly policies—bivouac and camping permitted—make it ideal for extended fishing trips in this beautiful Vosges foothills landscape.
