Le Gardon d'Alès is a productive lowland river in the Gard department of Occitanie, flowing through approximately 34 kilometers from Alès toward its confluence with the Gardon de Saint-Jean. Anglers can expect diverse coarse fishing opportunities targeting carp, catfish, zander, pike, bream, and perch across varied habitat, with the added benefit of night fishing permission and boat access along the stretch. The river accommodates a complete fishing lifestyle with bivouac and camping allowed, making it ideal for extended angling trips, though a Carte de Pêche annual licence from the local AAPPMA is required to fish these waters.
