About this water

Mountain river in the Bornes-Glières area with strong wild fario population. Alpine freestone on granite. No-kill management protects local-strain trout. Short season from snowmelt (June onward best). Technical fishing in pocket water and small pools. Solitude and mountain scenery part of the appeal. Check Haute-Savoie regulations for permits and access.
