Vaumigny

The lake
The bottom varies from sand and gravel to a thin layer of silt and is quite tricky to navigate in certain areas. With a good fishfinder or marker rod, it’s definitely worth the effort to thoroughly explore your spot for different depths and structures. There are also obstacles underwater here and there, and the bank has many overhanging trees. This makes the water less suitable for a beginner angler. The water has depths up to 2.2 meters but is on average 1.5 meters deep. Near spot 15/16, there is a large shallow plateau.

On the left side upon arrival is a large island with overhanging trees. Furthermore, there is a steel frame in the middle of the water where birds can rest during the bird migration. This easily divides the water into 2 halves, so you will never have problems with your neighbor.

The fishing spots
Spots 1 through 7 are located on the north side of the lake. These are accessible by car. The spots here are also a bit more spacious. On the south side, only spots 15 and 16 are accessible by car, although you can get reasonably close to spot 8. This is also where the cabin with the shower, toilet, and power and cooling/freezing facilities is located.

Swims 9 to 14 are easily accessible on foot, and there is also a large wheelbarrow at the manager’s that can be used for this. Swims 8 to 16 have a higher bank and you should not be unsteady on your feet here. The vegetation is also fuller here because you are more in the edge of the forest. Vaumigny has closed swims 4, 7, 9 for reservations. These may be used as extra fishing space.

Fishing tackle
Boats are allowed but only plastic boats with a hard bottom, so no inflatable boats. These boats can also be rented on-site for €70 per week. A good fishfinder definitely adds value here. The boats can be used to find spots, feed, and possibly place markers. They cannot be used to take out lines or play the fish. Bait boats are also allowed. These can, of course, be used to take out lines.

Due to its location, accessibility and stock, this water is highly recommended for fishermen who like a rugged environment and nature. Frank, the friendly manager, will provide you with all the necessary swim information on site, if desired. He knows the water like no other.
