It holds char, trout, pike, perch and pollan in roughly the proportions you would expect for a deep limestone lake that has been left largely to its own devices. Thermal motor boats are banned, which keeps the surface quiet and the fish behaving like fish rather than like stressed-out tourists. The AAPPMA here is one of the better-run in Savoie and the regulations read like they were written by people who actually fish — complete no-kill on carp, no-kill trout in some seasons, rod limits that reward the careful angler. You still need a specific Aiguebelette permit because the lake is not in the inter-federal reciprocity scheme, which is mildly annoying but understandable given how carefully the fishery has been looked after.
