Start with Perdigón (16–18) — on the point — slow figure-of-eight retrieve. If that does not produce, switch depth or speed before changing the pattern entirely.
Slow down everything. A booby on a fast-sinking line, left static, can pick up deep fish.
Keep an eye on changing conditions — wind shifts and cloud breaks can trigger short feeding spells.
Bank-only venue. Fish from accessible margins, points, weed edges, and inflows.

French nymph-first water. Fast current, technical presentation, weighted nymphs and emergers, with dry flies when fish rise.
A reasonable day here, though temperature isn't quite in the sweet spot.
The water runs cold and clear, and the trout in it carry the manners of that mineral country — unhurried, precise, intolerant of a clumsy approach. A boat is the natural way to read it: drift the wind lanes, watch where the surface tightens over a shelf, and let the fish show you where the lake is feeding. In the warmer months it stratifies, and the trout drop to follow the cool and the food. Patience and a careful eye for the wind are worth more here than distance.
Lac Saint-Point lies high in the Haut-Doubs, a long natural lake fed by limestone springs and cradled in the folds of the Jura.
