English run and owned carp lake of 16 acres, opened in spring 2005. Stocked with 250 carp to low forties. 3 rods allowed. Only 6 anglers allowed at a time - or a party of up to 8. Toilets, showers and fridge-freezer available.

Seille, Louhans
Even if private grounds are found down to the river, it's mostly easily accessible, as a track runs along it. Both long, hardfighting commons in the 6 - 15 kg bracket and even bigger mirror carp are present in numbers. Often the bigger fish are found patrolling in small groups. Several 20 kg+ fish has been caught. The river has retained a nice natural look, and the quite slow current allows for lillie-beds to develop, and numerous fallen trees are also spots worth a try. 
Nightfishing 2008 is allowed on a sector at Louhans on lot 9 from june 1. to october 31., from the railway brigde and downstream to the the 4. cut - on the left bank
This river is not to be ignored in winter ......

Vallon, Étang de, Autun, 
Disaster struck this water in 2002, as more than 5 tonnes of carp died! Many of them valuable specimens of the old stock, many of which went 15 - 22 kg. A virus introduced with new stockings are speculated to be the culprit, but also very low oxygen levels in the lake after authorities have tried to kill the algae of the lake, might be the reason to this catastrofe.

Chenay, Étang de, Dommartin, Montrevel-en-Bresse

Saône, Chalon-sur-Saône. Carte IGN SB 3025 E (north of Chalon) & 3026 O (south of Chalon).
This wide, wild - but a considerable part of the year quite slowly floating river offers countless promissing swimms for fishing for the numerous carp present. Though most of the carp are commons of a more modest size, there's always the chance of one of the many very big mirro carp as well. Not to forget the many big wels catfish present! On the way through the town of Chalon-sur-Saône, even the concrete banks sports several well known hotspots - of which Pont Saint-Laurent is one, where many 20 kg+ carp has been caught. From Crissey to Gergy, north of Chalon, it's the many wildies of 4-13 kg that offers good sport. Carp to 30 kg+ are certainly considered a possibility from this stretch of the river.

At Verdun-sur-leDoubs and Bragny-sur-Saône,
nightfishing is allowed in 2008 at Lot no. 6, from PK 167, 500 to PK 164,600.

At Gergy, nightfishing is allowed 2004 from PK 162 to 160 - within the general period in this dpt...
Also look at the survey maps of the very good site of of the local club AAPPMA La Gaule Chalonnaise, where indications of nightfishing streches are clearly defined on a good map. In the 2004 season, the night fishing stretch from 1. of june extends from PK 148 to PK 139 - on lots 13, 14 and 15.
Even if you don't reed much french - look for "Secteurs" - and then  "Pêche de Nuit" - there's actually nothing to miss.
Permits can be purchased at Europêche - Saint-Jean Pêche, Rue Thomas-Dumorey (at Carrefour2000 in z.i. Züd - leave the A7 to Chalon Süd), 71100 Chalon-sur-Saône, phone 03 85 46 63 36 - or Avenir Pêche-Jacky Greset, 22, rue de Lyon, 71100 Saint-Rémy, phone 03 85 48 32 16 („Les quais", south of Chalon).

After Chalon sur Saône, the river regains its wild banks, and flows between corn fields, meadows, forrests and small villages. Lots og really big carp and catfish has been caught from these beautifull banks over the years - mind you - carp to 20 kg+! 70% of the carp here are commons.
Nightfishing 2008 is allowed on the right bank at  Sance, PK. 83.300  to 85.00, and at St. Symphorien d'Ancelles on the right bank at Lot n° 39 from PK 66 towards the Rhône  to PK 64,7.

Zup, Lac de la, Châlons-sur-Saône
One of the first waters in France to be opened for nightfishing for carp - and now it almost seems to be forgotten. Many big carp and grasscarp to 15 kg+ has been banked from this park lake in the town of Chalons - the biggest reported being a magnificent fish of 22,8 kg. Fishing to the small island has always been mentioned as a good bet - but then again - that's where most people fish - and something different might be worth a try. Nightfishing is apparently not allowed any more (2008).
