The Ruisseau de l'Âne is a small, productive stream in the Loire département of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, offering excellent opportunities for trout and coarse fish enthusiasts in an intimate setting. This waterway supports healthy populations of trout, chub, dace, and bullhead, making it ideal for fly fishing and light tackle work along its gentle stretch between Montbrison and Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert. Night fishing is permitted, and anglers can take advantage of bivouac and camping facilities nearby, though a valid Carte de Pêche from the local AAPPMA (fishing association) is required to fish these waters.
