Fishing for wild trout and grayling in the Loire and Haute-Loire

Rate this article

Drift fishing with natural bait (toc modern), when practised carefully and thoroughly can be very subtle and, despite its effectiveness, very respectful of the fish, which is always caught on the edge of the mouth and can therefore be returned to the water in very good conditions. For the general public fishing with natural bait is less spectacular than the fly fishingI'm not talking about silk majestically unfurling in the air or noisy gobbling, but rather about discovering all the subtleties of silk and the pleasure it can bring you.

Information about your guide

Guillaume

I discovered fishing at the age of 7 and have now turned it into a professional activity. I've got a BP JEPS specialising in recreational fishing, and have been a guide since 2015, as well as an instructor at the Haute Vallée de la Loire nature fishing workshop. I pass on my passion for nature, fish and the subtleties of luring them.
For me, fishing is a real source of joy, happiness and balance, through the sensations it brings, in the nature that we borrow from our children.

The detailed programme

The rivers in this part of the Haute-Loire, typical of the Massif Central, are granite and have a characteristic tea colour. Trout are a magnificent yellow. What's more, the density of fish is high, allowing beginners to hit fish quickly and learn how to detect bites. 

We'll be fishing with natural bait on public sectors, open to all and managed in a heritage way by the local AAPPMA. Depending on the season, current weather conditions and your wishes or expectations, I'll be able to suggest a course to suit you.
