A friend of mine has just moved to the Ariege region of france and is near to a place called Lac Montbel. We took a trip to have a look round and although the main part of this large water goes up and down dramatically depending on rainfall we liked the look of a part that is sectioned off from the main lake by a dam wall next to a cafe ( not the one on the main water). Does anyone have any info on this venue, e.g. what permits are needed, is there a specific season, can you night fish etc., anything else that might be helpful if we give it a go.
