The Challes-les-Eaux lake

Not only is it a summer bathing lake, it's also a pleasant fishing lake just a stone's throw from Chambéry.

In spring and autumn, you can fish for trout: releases are made regularly. You can also fish for pike with a single hook. You can also fish for perch, bleak, catfish, bream and carp. Note that baiting or fishing with maggots is forbidden (use a worm). Carp fishing is no-kill with a single barbless hook.
