The Doubs river is a typical chalkstream, flowing on the swiss border to France. Twentytwo fish species are living in the river, but most flyfishermen are coming to this river to catch the famous Zebra- trout. These trout, weighing up to 5 kilos, are unique to this river and some tributairies.
Flyfishing is best from april to june and in september, when trout and grayling are rising for the abundant hatches of mayflies and sedges.
Please find here here some practical info on flyfishing the Doubs. But be aware, the Doubs is a difficult river, we recommend therefore a guiding and a longer stay. We recommend the Aschi's lodge or hotels in St. Ursanne, Soubey or Tariche
