BRITTANY FISHING GITES
          ST NICHOLAS DES EAUX

Message from Chris for the angler
'The fishing here on the Blavet is a pleasure.
It is uncrowded and peaceful. The river is slow flowing, there are carp, bream, roach, pike, trout and zander. Advice can be sought from the friendly locals, who only fish for pike and zander. You can fish on a platform right outside the frontdoor. Bream and roach can be caught mid river on ledgered or feeder fished corn. Put in some ground bait first and concentrate the fish. They are unpressured, and almost certainly uncaught before. Carp are also found here, try the far bank trees. Boilies or maize, with a little pre-bait will get you takes. Try above the weir, and also a good walk upstream past the bridges will find you plenty of good overhanging trees and even lilly pads, where there are a lot of carp. Mornings and evenings are best. Fish strong tackle, 15lb BS, to ensure landing these fish. They are uncaught wild fish, and fight very hard! Particle baits and Vitalin are ideal to pre-bait with. Ready made boilies are ideal too. A couple of kilo's will do. Please use unhooking mats and respect all fish.
Permits can be bought localy, at the cafe by the railway bridge.
A "Carte de Peche" costs about £25 for the week.
Enjoy yourselves, Tight lines, Chris'
