Top Spots and Destinations for Fishing Holidays in France
If you are looking forward to adding awesome angling on top of a vacation, France is the place to go. There are over 83 species you can catch in the freshwater lakes including salmonids, cyprinids, predators, anadromous, and catadromous fish.
-
Lac de Saint-Cassien
Sometime back, people visited for night fishing only; today, Lac de Saint-Cassien is among the most-talked-about destinations for freshwater fishing holidays in France. Located in the South East of the country, the lake contains over 10,000 carp fish in about 1.5 miles. Though a haven for giant carp, anglers still catch pike, salmon, and trout.
-
Etang de Mont, Auvergne
If you love comfort during fishing, you will love the relaxing bungalow tents in Etang de Mont for the perfect view over the waters. Basic amenities like toilets are in pristine conditions. From the biggest to the smallest carp fish, catch them at the bottom of the lake in their search for invertebrates. Falling under cyprinids species, carp fishes differ significantly in size and make up the biggest percentage of freshwater fish in France.
-
Arcachon Bay
The Atlantic bay is situated on the south-western coast, covering 93.2 miles. A few islands in the Bassin add on to the sublime environment of posh seaside villas and magnificent pink skies during sunrise. It is popular for sea bass, oysters, Bluefin tuna and sea bream. You might be lucky to catch a predator such as perch, catfish, pike, and zander of black bass. These are an important part of the food chain, coming at the top since they feed on other fish. When you are done fishing, bike along the bay, go kitesurfing, or hire a charter boat.
-
Alder Lake, Nouzerines
Enjoy carp fishing holidays in France at Alder, a popular site in green fields with peaceful ambience for angling. Have the pleasure of hauling a mammoth 50lb mirror carp. This is the right spot for drive-and-survive fishing trips. The green scenery offers great settings for camping vacations. Also meet the European eel, a snake-like catadromous fish that measures up to 1.5 metres long. They are important food sources and are captured with basket traps in many French rivers.
-
Lac de Villedon
Experienced anglers make the most of angling holidays at Lac de Villedon. The stunning lake stretches over 100 acres in 1.4 miles. Some of the best carps swim here and there is plenty of 70 and 60 lb to fish. Catch trout and salmon in the Atlantic salmon rivers of France. These whitewater species, referred to as salmonids, are arguably the most desirable by sport fishermen.
