Float-tube fishing on the Loire

Rate this article

I propose a day of float-tube fishing on the Loire, for a descent of a wild sector of this mythical river of France. The descent takes in islets and oxbows, currents and pools. A variety of habitats and landscapes will allow you to fish for several species of carnivorous fish. Large spawning grounds for pikeradiators to hotus and barbeauxpits for zander and the catfish submerged woods hiding poles and pike.  

Information about your guide

Sport pêche Loire

I'm passionate about nature, lakes and rivers, and that's what I do for a living. I've been a river technician for over 10 years, and the desire to share my passion led me to become a fishing guide instructor. I've been a competitive urban angler since I started out, then moved on to float-tube fishing, and I'm always on the lookout for something new. I offer courses that combine modern techniques and equipment with the authenticity and simplicity of sharing and nature.
