Bivouac and lighting for fishing
Our selection Bivouac brings together night fishing lights: Fox Rage Voyager headlamp, to keep your hands free, and Fox Halo light, for taking pictures of your catch at night, along with our tips for setting up a bivouac by the water.
Nights by the water, well equipped.
Fishing by day and by night
Carp fishing is often done in sessions lasting several days, without leaving the spot, as the big fish feed freely at night. The angler sets up a real camp: shelter, camp bed, sleeping bag, stove, and lighting. Night fishing for carp is allowed in France on the stretches designated by prefectural order: check with the departmental federation before settling in.
Other equipment
Fishing equipment also comes in various types:
All equipment is gathered on the equipment page.
The headlamp
The headlamp is the essential tool for night time: it shines where you look and keeps your hands free for striking, netting the fish, unhooking, or re-rigging. The Fox Rage Voyager, from the brand's predatory range, offers several lighting modes. It is best to use a red light mode, which preserves night vision and disturbs fish and neighbours less, and avoid sweeping the water with a powerful beam.
Night photography
The light Fox Halo is designed to photograph your catches at night: it evenly lights the fish, without reflections or harsh shadows, to keep a true memory before releasing it back into the water. Prepare the camera, light, and reception mat before taking out the fish, to keep it out of the water for the shortest time possible, wetting it regularly. Bring spare batteries or a charged battery for the entire session.

Frequently asked questions
Is night fishing for carp allowed?
Yes, but only on stretches designated by prefectural order. Check with the departmental federation or local association before settling in for the night.
What lighting to use by the water at night?
A headlamp keeps your hands free to rig bait or unhook a fish. Opt for a red light mode, which dazzles less and avoids alarming the fish near the shore.
How to photograph your catches in the dark?
A diffuse light, like the Fox Halo, evenly illuminates the fish without reflections or harsh shadows. Keep the carp close to the reception mat during the photo, then release it quickly.
What to prepare for a several-day camp?
A shelter, a camp bed, a sleeping bag suitable for the temperature, a stove, and lighting. Don't forget a reception mat and a landing net to handle the fish safely.
How to conserve the battery life of your lamp during session?
Use the minimum power for tasks at the spot and keep full power for moving around. Bring an external battery or spare batteries, as cold reduces battery life.
