Le Doubs is a premier French river in the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region, renowned for its diverse salmonid and cyprinid populations including brown trout, barbel, carp, and pike across its scenic stretch from the Swiss border region. Anglers can enjoy night fishing and bivouacking along the river, with boats permitted for accessing prime fishing grounds.
