Experience 02 — Lake Geneva
Lake Geneva predators.
Boat fishing days on one of the largest lakes in Western Europe, between vineyards and summits. Pike, perch, and wels catfish when conditions and regulations allow.
The experience
Hunting big pike, in a setting that exists nowhere else.
Lake Geneva is deep, vast, and home to very large pike. We look for them by boat, adapting the technique to the day's conditions: lure fishing, linear searching, vertical fishing on the drop-offs, modern approaches with on-board electronics. Perch give intense sessions in summer and autumn. I do not promise a trophy fish; I promise a day built to give it a chance.
- Lure fishing (soft baits, jerkbaits, swimbaits)
- Linear searching of hunting zones
