Le Tholon is a productive freshwater river in the Yonne department of Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, offering excellent opportunities for carp, pike, zander, and catfish anglers along its scenic stretch. The river permits night fishing and allows boats, making it ideal for dedicated anglers seeking extended sessions in a peaceful countryside setting, with bivouac and camping facilities available for multi-day trips. A Carte de Pêche (annual fishing licence obtainable through the local AAPPMA) is required to fish these waters, which support healthy populations of bream and perch alongside the larger predatory species.
