Loue (France)

This piece of land, French border with Switzerland, the beauty of the area, "les ombres" blue fin and the legendary trout "tigers" of the Jura, makes a route always exciting and interesting to spend a nice weekend in peacefully and relax.From whatever side we approach the river can be seen easily, even having crystal clear water, many grayling fin blue "shadows" for the French and trout, the legendary and famous tiger trout, fish species that is present throughout the Jura area of France / Switzerland.

The Upper Loue

As soon as it rises, the River Loue sends its turbulent water into a deep canyon, and one has to travel to the village of Lods before the water becomes calm once again. It is the upstream section, in the Noailles Gorges, that the river is at its wildest and most beautiful. The Loue then carries on as far as the village of Ornans, where it widens out, and over the next few kilometres, it seems to change after every bend, offering a succession of fishing spots abundant in trout.

The Lower Loue

Just below Ornans, the meanders of the Loue are still rather rapid, and the private fishing spots, such as the famous La Piquette, are dotted along the next few kilometres of the river. The most interesting sections downstream of here are to be found above Arc et Senans. The highlight of these stretches of river, which are managed by four angling associations, are the beautiful grayling. You will also find lovely great trout that you will be able to sight fish with nymphs.

For a weekend of three days on the Loue we spend about € 250.00 uro with hotel accommodation, fishing permit, which varies depending on the area you wish to attend (free or commercial), lunch and dinner.
