The Ain, a fisherman's paradise

Fishing in the Ain means teasing trout between Lyon and Geneva, casting your line in the Ain, Rhône or Saône rivers. Whitewater, varied fish, guaranteed fun.

An unforgettable fishing experience! There's something for every taste and practice

In the eastern part of the département, where salmonids thrive, emblematic rivers such as the Albarine, Valserine and Rivière d’Ain, as well as the natural lakes of Sylans and Genin in Nantua, delight anglers.

As for the western part of the region, with its thousand fish-filled ponds bordered by the Saône, it remains a favorite area for carnivore fishing.

Did you know? The Valserine, an exceptional site

The Valserine, the first river in France to be awarded the “Site Rivières Sauvages” label.
This label is dedicated to the protection and conservation of ecologically sound rivers. The Vézeronce and Dorches were also awarded the label in 2016. Recognition of quality!
