Severe drought restrictions (crise) in force

VigiEau lists this venue's surface-water zone (Bassin versant de l'Orb de la Source à l’amont de la confluence avec le Jaur hors axe Orb soutenu, dépt 34) at crise, under an official préfectoral drought arrêté. Fishing is not itself banned by it, but water levels are low — go gently on stressed fish.

How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Current conditions suit L'Echo des Sources well for autumn tactics. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently.
Where
Start with Booby (10–12) — on the point. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Booby (10–12) — on the point. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.

Plan B

A fry-imitating pattern stripped through the margins can save a blank in autumn.

Watch for

Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.

Bank

Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.
