Lac de Paladru

Lake Paladru

Lake Paladru, also called blue lake, is the 5th largest natural lake in France with its 392 hectares; it will seduce you with its crystal clear waters, the beauty of its surrounding landscapes and its density of fish of all kinds. 
The site is also remarkable for its 7 protected natural areas including that of the large reeds located north of the lake, a privileged place for nesting birds (mallards, swans, coots or crested grebes) and fish spawning (carp, tench, etc.) ; these reed beds remain inaccessible.

Lake Paladru is located in the department of Isère and more precisely in the region of the Miocene hills of the lower Dauphinée, called Terres froides, approximately between the towns of Voiron and La Tour-du-Pin.

Note:
80% of the banks are private; impossible to fish there from the banks.
Maximum tidal range: 2.5m
High density of whitefish and lake trout.
Slightly uneven topographic profile with steep banks except in a few places where there are shoals and lakeside chalk beaches.
Strong nautical activity in summer.

The number of rods authorized, per fisherman, on board or in boat, is three maximum.
Night carp fishing is prohibited on the entire extent of Lake Paladru.
Apart from prohibited areas (reed beds, protected natural areas) any type of line fishing is authorized on board for holders of the reciprocal card.
Boat authorized but use requiring a permit / tax
The electric motor is authorized to move the boat (the use of the heat engine is still prohibited).
If you are fishing on the water from your boat, it is necessary to pay a boat fishing right and a navigation authorization.
The logbook must be completed for each catch.
All AAPPMA Paladru fishing licenses are issued by the private guard of the SCI in Paladru and the Charavines tourist office. Day passes are also available from the usual depositories.
Fishermen, especially by boat, are asked to respect the private areas of the lake's shareholder properties, as well as the reed beds. That is to say a distance of 50 M.
Since June 1992, the AAPPMA of Paladru and the Civil Society of the Lake have carried out the materialization of the perimeter of evolution of the speedboats, by the installation of large yellow regulatory buoys 200 meters from the shores. Consequently, all owners of motor-propelled boats, including fishermen, must comply with the regulations in force concerning traffic on Lake Paladru. In particular, any fisherman having to go from one fishing point to another must do so within the perimeter defined by these yellow buoys. The movement between the line of buoys and the banks will necessarily be at the speed of a walking man, or better still, an oar. Any repeated infringement will result in the withdrawal of the authorization to travel using an engine,the fishery guards having all the skills to intervene in this direction with the Civil Society of Lake Paladru, which issues permits to travel. AAPPMA de Paladru reserves the right to no longer issue boat fishing permits to repeat offenders.
