Fishing in the
Pyrenees

The Haut-Garonne Pyrenees are a true paradise for fishing enthusiasts, offering an authentic and immersive experience in the heart of majestic landscapes. With 150 km of rivers and 15 high altitude lakes, there’s something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned angler.

The aquatic treasures of the Pyrenees

Imagine yourself on the banks of the Ône, the Pique or the Neste d’Oô, fishing rod in hand, ready to challenge the fario trout in their natural environment. These rivers, rich in biodiversity, meander through valleys and mountains, offering an idyllic setting for trout fishing. The Neste d’Oueil and the Lis complete this aquatic picture, offering moments of absolute tranquillity and communion with nature.

High altitude lakes, havens of peace for trout fishing

The high-altitude lakes of the Haut-Garonne Pyrenees, such as Lac d’Oô, Lac d’Espingo and Lac Saussat, or the Vénasque and Montagnette lakes, are hidden gems where trout fishing takes on a special dimension. Each lake has its own charm: Lac Vert and Lac Bleu are perfect destinations for a family day out, while Lac Charles, Lac Célinda, Lac du Port Viel and Lac du Portillon, with their fish-filled waters, offer breathtaking scenery.

The Garonne,
a haven for fishermen

The majestic Garonne also crosses our territory, offering a unique fishing environment. Its clear, fast-flowing waters are home to a variety of aquatic fauna, promising memorable catches and unforgettable memories. Whether you enjoy sport fishing or prefer a more contemplative approach, the Garonne will seduce you with its beauty and richness.

An adventure accessible to all

Our region makes a point of making fishing accessible to all. The disabled fishing pontoon at Lac de Badech is specially equipped to accommodate people with reduced mobility, guaranteeing everyone the pleasure of teasing trout in a safe environment. For families, bait fishing is an ideal way to introduce youngsters to the joys of fishing, while sharing some fun, friendly moments.
