Sweet water angling needs equal skill. To bail a trout, you might need to discreetly follow its way upstream. Put worms or dead minnow on the hook to catch it in the beginning of the season, or  flies in summer. It always takes a lot of patience to catch a carp, and  you might need to get up for night-time fishing. Pikes won't be lured unless the bail's movements are very realistic. And if you still need one more reason to be tempted by breton rivers, it would surely be this one: the almost exclusive presence of the king of all river-fish, the Salmo Salar. A mythical salmon, that has deserted most of France's great rivers, but is still appearing in Brittany thanks to well-designed lay-outs that do not hinder migration. Many opportunities to put your skills to the test, and if ever you need a little hand, look for lessons or training courses, provided all over Brittany.
