Lac du Jotty

Lac du Jotty is an 18-hectare artificial reservoir located at 645 meters elevation in La Baume commune, Haute-Savoie, fed by the Dranse de Morzine stream with surrounding forested hills.

Built in the early 20th century, this reservoir was constructed to provide reliable water storage for regional development and industrial needs, serving as crucial water management infrastructure for the area.

The lake holds special significance for local fishing enthusiasts who practice traditional fly fishing techniques to catch brown and rainbow trout in this mountain setting during the March to October season.

Located on the D902 road with GPS coordinates 46.299879, 6.61642, visitors need a departmental fishing license and must respect protected fishing zones downstream in the Gorges du Pont du Diable.

Positioned upstream from the Gorges du Pont du Diable, Lac du Jotty serves exclusively as a fishing reservoir with strict conservation regulations that maintain its ecological integrity and fish population quality.
