Pike fishing day on Lake Charpal

The largest no-kill lake in France, Lac de Charpal is unanimously recognised as a nugget of fish and wildlife. These 200 shallow hectares, surrounded by meadows and mountain coniferous forests, are home to a large number of species of fish. pike more than a metre high! Situated at an altitude of 1350 metres, in the heart of the Haut Gévaudan, the climatic conditions here are reminiscent of much more northerly climes! For many people, this lake has been a secret for a few years now, and the fish have learned to be wary...

I'll set you up in the best areas depending on the weather and where the fish are at the moment. Together we will look for the Pikes on lures from my boat or, from your own float tube, if you wish with my assistance (technical, safety and help in moving to the right positions) from the boat. 

Information about your guide

Jérôme

I've been a fishing guide specialising in carnivorous and lake trout fishing by boat since 2010, and I'll be happy to provide you with top-quality fishing equipment and a boat, as well as my experience of fishing in competitions and in foreign destinations (Extremadura, Ireland). The destinations I offer in the heart of the Lozère no longer hold any secrets for me, and each time I go out I try to be both educational and professional with my customers. I also offer courses for teenagers, in collaboration with a colleague in Naussac and Charpal.
