French day ticket waters

[mfduk1]

Evening all,

 

I am hoping to take a touring/camping holiday with my non fishing (as yet!) partner, holiday in France in July. Just wondering if any one was aware of any decent day ticket waters - somehwere between a runs and and a challenge where it might be possible just to book a couple of days to bivvy up.

 

All I've managed to find so far is gross family holiday parcs with a pond or week at a time places.

 

Not sure of the route yet but obviously starting in the north and possibly heading towards the Loire & Centre.

 

All help greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers

There is this one, but I fear a little too far South for you.

Etang du Soleil

Stick to the rivers would be my advice. They are free - you just need a fishing licence and you can go wherever the urge takes you. There's also some cracking fish in rivers like the seine, saone or loire.

Sounds like good advice. Will report back in due course.

Hi M,

 

We may be able to supply you with some day tickett fishing at our venue. Edens Lakes carp fishing in France.

We have a few spaces left in July, when you thinking of going? If you take our phone number with you give us a call a couple of days before you would like to come & we could let you know if we have space.

I watched the last Tour de France race on television. We had good coverage since it was to be Lance Armstrong's last race before he retired.

 

The rivers when we saw footage of the racers crossing bridges looked large and deserted. I remembered thinking what a shame that all that water had zero anglers taking advantage of it except for a couple of people in a boat fishing near one of the bridges.

 

If fishing large rivers is something you might enjoy trying but don't know much about, plenty on here can help you with advice. I find them easier than lakes and especially when there is decent water flow although in mid-summer, that may not be happening.

Bu the way - sorry about the spelling throughout my post - it seems my computer decides which key to use

Totally agree with Rob. Make sure you "beef up" the tackle for the rivers, As well as very big Carp there are monster Cats in the rivers.

 

I am not sure but I think that you cannot night fish the rivers, even with a licence and the "Gurde du peche" do patrol, or so I have been told..!!

 

 

Bon Route..!!
