Fishing at Etang de Azat-Chatenet can be a very exciting experience, not knowing which species of fish will bite next. All of the fish are very hard fighting, with the Sturgeon jumping right out of the water sometimes several times during a fight. With no safe havens for the fish to hide and no closed off sections of the lake, all of the water can be fished to from the swims. Every bank is accessible with a path all of the way around the lake.

There are 9 swims on the lake, with a maximum number of 5 anglers permitted. View Map of Lake and Swims (including photo views from swims)
