FISHING AREAS: (right and left banks to be considered downstream)
Range of flow rates for optimum fishing :
Petite Amblève: 1m³ to 4m³ at Lasnenville. Hydrometry in Wallonia – Height
Warche: 1m³ to 6m³ at Malmedy. Hydrometry in Wallonia – Height
Amblève: 1m³ to 9m³ at Stavelot. Hydrometry in Wallonia – Height
PS: when water is released from the Bévercé hydroelectric plant, an additional 2 to 3m³ flows directly into the Warche; this extra water mass takes 3 hours to reach the Amblève at Stavelot.
