We have spent 6 months compiling data from 90+ federations into a single online map. Our map contains not only locations of the night zones but also detailed information and byelaws for each of the venues (in plain English). We have partnered with provider of high quality satellite maps and weather forectasts to create a convenient, mobile friendly tool for carp anglers fishing French public waters, with the single purpose of saving them time that would be otherwise spent looking for places to fish.
We believe that thecarpspot offers value to all of those who would rather spend their time fishing, but if you prefer to do the research yourself, our federations page contains all the relevant links.

All night zones are indicated in different colours depending on the type: rivers are red, canals are blue and lakes are green.

Just click or tap on any night zone and a popup window will display particular venue's name, opening dates, any specific regulations, links to federation's website etc.

Our maps cover the entirety of the continental France: 11,000+ km of rivers, 3,000+ km of canals and 695 lakes, gravel pits and barrages where night fishing for carp is allowed.

We have built an automated system that monitors 300+ websites containing night fishing regulations for all departmenrs of France. Whenever a change is detected, the system raises an alert and we update our maps as required, ensuring they are always up to date.

A lot of time and attention went into building our maps. When building them we have referenced multiple sources including prefectoral decrees and pages of each of the federations to ensure accuracy. In cases of discrepancies betwen federation's pages and official documents issued by the departments, we have clearly indicated that in the venues' descriptions. On top of that, our maps undergo regular reviews to accomodate changes in local regulations and user's feedback.
