Severe drought restrictions (crise) in force

VigiEau lists this venue's surface-water zone (Bassin Vienne amont, dépt 87) 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.

Arrêté préfectoral n°37065 ↗

How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Conditions are not ideal but fishable at Réservoir de la Boisserie. The ripple should help fish move and feed more confidently. As the heat eases this evening, fish may move up in the water column.
Where
Start with Pheasant Tail Nymph (14-18) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Pheasant Tail Nymph (14-18) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. Early in the day, try buzzers on a slow figure-of-eight or a booby on a fast-sink line near the bottom. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.

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.
