Limousin isn't a bad place for fishing… in the same way that Australia isn't a bad place for surfing, Wembley's not a bad place for football, and St. Andrew's isn't a bad place for golf.

Limousin has 11,700 kilometres of riverbank (23,400 kilometres if you count both sides), more than 3,000 lakes and nearly 40 reservoirs. Unsurprisingly, it also has quite a few fish. It's particularly known for its trout and salmon, but there are also plenty of perch, carp, pike, bream, black bass, dace, chub, gudgeon and barbel.

Fishing

Maison du Gui

You will need a permit before you can fish legally. But these are inexpensive and widely available in tobacconists, bars, cafes, and angling shops.  If you would like us to organise a permit on your behalf then please let us know when you book.
