If you really need to catch then the specific area is as important as the actual river. I have fished a few French rivers but, without local knowlede it is pretty much a waste of time. Cahal

I've fished a the Loire 'blind' and enjoyed reasonable success, so I think I'll give it a bash anyhow even if it's only skimmers and chub. Besides, you never know, I might get talking to a local. Better than watching telly anyway - especially French telly. Regards Mike

Take a look at the pictures in the nature shots of the season thread, on the other species board. Not all French rivers are big Cahal, only the big rivers are big. Ad
