The term "Big Five" is commonly used in African safaris to describe the pursuit of the five most elusive and iconic animals. This concept is now transposed to the five most emblematic fish species of the Rhône River. From Lake Geneva to the river’s mouth, Cyril Gressot sets out to track pike, zander, catfish, leerfish, and tuna.On this journey from source to sea, Cyril surrounds himself with experts to help him meet the challenge. Arnaud Fileppi joins him on Lake Geneva. Franck Hiribarne guides him along the Rhône, and at the end of the trip, Cyril invites both friends to the river’s mouth to hunt leerfish and tuna.In these iconic landscapes of the Rhône Valley, the river’s rich fish life is well known among fishing enthusiasts. But catching these five species is no easy feat—especially since Cyril’s goal is to catch them exclusively using lures.
