By the early 1880s Switzerland had reached agreements with France, Italy, Baden and Alsace-Lorraine (the latter two now part of Germany and France respectively). [10] By this time fishing professionally, previously done on the side by farmers, vintners and other tradesmen, had evolved into a full-time job for more of those who took to the lakes.
The lake is full of fish. Apart from a few protected areas, such as the mouth of the River Cuccio in Porlezza , fishing is allowed anywhere, although according to various regulations. Protected species are the bleak and the white clawed crayfish ( Austropotamobius pallipes ).

This is a list of islands of Switzerland. Switzerland is a landlocked country, hence all Swiss islands are located in lakes or rivers. This list also includes islands in artificial lakes (*). In these cases, the water levels may drop by a few metres at some periods of the year, thereby turning some islands into peninsulas.
