Le Chapeauroux is a productive Ardèche river in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, flowing through a scenic 18km stretch ideal for targeting trout, barbel, and chub using both traditional and modern techniques. The waterway welcomes night fishing and offers flexibility for anglers with boat access and bivouac facilities, making it accessible for extended fishing expeditions in a less-crowded setting than major regional rivers. A valid Carte de Pêche from the local AAPPMA is required to fish here, and anglers should expect a mix of current-dependent pools and quieter sections that hold good populations of dace and nase alongside the premium species.
