FISHING

Fishing is a very popular pastime for visitors to the Dordogne region, and the range and quality of the facilities in the area is continually improving.

Caught and put back by  Dave next to the  Barn 27.05.2003!

First, with the fishing licence (obtainable from the nearby bar or fishing shop) fishing in the River Bandiat is possible locally. The river is stocked regularly with rainbow trout, and there are also tench, roach, carp and pike. Secondly, the licence permits fishing anywhere in the Dordogne department on categorised rivers (i.e. not on private waters and lakes)
		Finally, apart from the many rivers and streams in the area, there is fishing available on a daily licence basis at the public lakes of St Estephe and St Saud, and at a number of other private lakes, by arrangement.
