I propose a fishing camp for young people in Puy-de-Dôme for a introductory fishing course where in the mornings we'll be fishing with bait, lures and float tubes, and in the afternoons we'll be doing outdoor activities in the great outdoors.
The aim of this course will be to help children become autonomous in these different fishing techniques and to introduce them to activities linked to the environment and water.
Pablo
A fishing fan since the age of 5, I decided at the age of 20 to make my passion my profession.
During my final year at university, I met Yoann Esquis (head of the BP JEPS fishing instructors and guides course in Ahun), who gave me the opportunity to start a 9-month training course in March 2015. During this course, I was able to gain a diploma as a leisure centre manager and a private warden. What's more, it gave me the opportunity to follow high-quality courses given by the leading specialists in each fishing technique.
A year later I decided to open my own fishing centre in the Puy-de-Dôme.
