Swiss Activities Tip
The mountain lakes of Liapey are located about 1300 m above sea level within a federal hunting ban area. The two connected lakes in the valley of Derborence together with the pine forest surrounding them form a nature reserve. The lakes were formed at the end of the 18th century after a landslide of Les Diablerets to the north.
The natural paradise is accessible only by an adventurous road and is idyllically situated in a valley basin. It is a quiet and popular hiking area.
Taught techniques
- Fly tying (dry flies, nymphs, streamers)
- Casting techniques (TLT/double pull,...)
- Technique of nymph fishing on sight
- Dry fly fishing technique
Take fish
If you want to take your self-caught fish home, you should have a cloth and plastic bag with you. Your guide will show you how to stun, kill and gut the fish. You can take the gutted fish with you.
