The Swiss use a trolling system I've never seen anywhere else.
As you can see on the pictures, it's a kind of big reel where they can store a long line with multiple spoons.
They call it "tour de fond".
Does anyone know the English name of this thing?
Thanks

They use something similar in the Lake District to catch artic char,if you google char fishing on Windermere that should help you.

I've seen it in France too with a long wire line and move the boat very slowly.

Trolling is a similar principle although thats done with a rod and line.

It's essentially long lining. To paraphrase Mr Spock " its fishing but not as we know it Jim."
