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.
Information about your guide
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.

Course location :
The fishing camp will take place at the Domaine du Balbuzard in the Puy-de-Dôme (40 min from Clermont-Ferrand). The Domaine du Balbuzard is a fishing centre with a campsite and a 7-hectare lake managed as a reservoir for carnivorous fish. The population of pike and perch is very large, and it's not unusual to catch a few black bass and pike-perch.

Breakfast: classic, hearty breakfast (bread, jam, cereals, milk, cocoa, etc., other on request)
Lunch: depending on the day's programme, we'll have picnics (mixed salad, sandwich, fruit, etc.) to eat at the activity sites or return to the camp.
Dinner: we will eat hot meals prepared by the supervisors (with the help of the young people), the menu will be decided with the young people at the beginning of the stay.
Fresh, local fruit and vegetables will be provided for every meal. Eating well (well-balanced, good quality food) and getting young people involved in the various tasks will be part of the themes of the stay.
