Description

The river, which winds through a succession of rapids, pools, and waterfalls at the foot of Pointe de Marcelly (1,999 m), has a slightly torrential character that lends itself to whitewater fishing.
The trail is located on the downstream section of the Foron River in Taninges. It consists of an “urban” section located in Taninges itself, and a wilder section stretching from the outskirts of Taninges to the entrance to the Foron Gorges (downstream: D907 bridge; upstream: entrance to the gorges). The Foron de Taninges is home to a healthy population of trout, particularly brown trout—typical of fast-flowing streams—with the largest specimens reaching 35 cm. You’ll also find sculpin there. But be careful: whether you’re trying to entice them with a toc, a minnow, or a fly, be precise and discreet in your approach, as the Foron’s trout can be difficult to lure. Fishing in this river (managed by the AAPPMA du Faucigny) is subject to general regulations. The difficulty level for fishing here is moderately challenging.
