Brittany truly is THE top fishing region. Colorful flottillas of trawlers, endless shores washed over by powerful tides, running streams along shady banks, peaceful ponds in between rivers and the sea : everything seems to have been created in the sole purpose to attract the angler. Breton waters are characterised by a great diversity of fish species, and the presence of a variety of noble fish. The coast, unfurling over 2370 km, offers countless spots for fishing.
Changing from hidden creeks to jagged cliffs or long, white sandy beaches, the breton coastline suits any kind of fishing pleasure. Anywhere you choose to cast your line, places never look the same with the tides coming in and out several times a day. Even the colours of the sky above are continously changing. Put you might prefer climbing through the rocks with your children, searching for all these tiny marine creatures, hidden in each and every little whole.
In the inland, you can enjoy the calm, preserved nature while teasing the roach. The network of imposing or quiet rivers and streams, gives shelter to 35 species of fish. So, go and meet the wild salmon and the fabulous carp!
Adventure is waiting there for everyone, along the rivers or the seaside. Guided fishing-journeys on the open sea, lessons or internships are provided mostly everywhere.
