How to fish it · for Rainbow Trout
When
Stocked weekly, so the best fishing often follows a fresh drop — ask locally or simply fish soon after the season opens on 18 April. Runs to 14 October, dawn to dusk, seven days a week.
Where
The two-kilometre reserve between the old Brun intake and the Mellier canal — deep pools alternating with longer shallow glides, typical steep-valley torrent structure.
Method
Nothing fussy — spinner, bait or fly all take fish here, and there's no catch-and-release requirement. Minimum size 25cm, six fish per permit, up to three permits a day.
Kit
9 ft #5/6 for a small mountain torrent. Nymph or small streamer on a floating line covers most of the water.
Why this works
Water at 18.8°C — above the brown trout caution line (18°C). Fish dawn or dusk only. Land it fast, wet hands, no air shots.
