What is this fish that we catch in autumn on the rivers of Aude?

It's the catch of the moment. As the cold arrives and autumn is well established, it is a good time to go teasing zander in the bodies of water and canals of the Aude department. Fishing can be done in different ways: from shore, in a float tube or from a boat.

The Canal du Midi is an ideal playground for fishing this fish live or dead. Beautiful surprises await you there with beautiful specimens. The Ganguise lake on the Lauragais will allow you to fish from a lure boat linearly or vertically. For float tube enthusiasts, the Aude fishing federation recommends Lake Cavayère, Arques or Jouarres.
