Le Lion is a charming Jura stream in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté that offers excellent opportunities for trout and grayling fishing across its picturesque stretch between Plasne and Marigny. This intimate waterway is characterised by its healthy populations of native fish including chub, dace, and bullhead, making it ideal for both fly and conventional fishing techniques. Anglers will appreciate the relaxed regulations allowing night fishing, boat access, and bivouac camping, though a valid Carte de Pêche from the local AAPPMA is required to fish these waters.
