Would you like to discover adrenalin-fuelled fishing? Catfish fishing in the Rhône is for you.

Over the course of two days or more, I will teach you all the techniques for catfish fishing on the Rhône and their uses, while allowing you to enjoy the magnificent setting offered by the Rhône on the outskirts of the town of Arles. Several techniques for fishing for catfish on the Rhône will be explained, such as the catfish fishing with livebait (chub) or lures.

Information about your guide

Mathieu

As a catfish and carp fishing guide, my aim is to make the thrills and adrenaline of catching the biggest freshwater fish accessible to everyone, including non-fishermen: catfish, which can grow to over 2m70 for 100 kg, and carp up to 40 kg for 1m20!

Imagine posing for the camera with a fish that's bigger and heavier than YOU are!
Let yourself be tempted to track down these monstrous but very discreet fish, which may live closer to home than you think.
