Severe drought restrictions (crise) in force

The surface-water zone "AUTHION" (dépt 49) is at crise, the highest French drought tier, under a préfectoral arrêté. Fishing itself is not named in the restriction, but flows are low enough for the state to restrict water use — expect thin, warm water and check locally before travelling.

Arrêté préfectoral n°37861

Temporary notices from official orders and recent fishery reports — they clear automatically once out of date. Always confirm locally before travelling.

How to fish it · for Rainbow
When
Open year-round except Tuesdays, Saturday mornings and public holidays, 8h-18h
Where
Start with Booby (10-12) — on the point. Evening can produce explosive surface takes — try a foam beetle or booby on a long leader. Rainbows respond to more active retrieves — try short strips between pauses.
The plan
Plan A

Start with Booby (10-12) — on the point. Evening can produce explosive surface takes — try a foam beetle or booby on a long leader. 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.
