Campervan fishing trips in Brittany
With its great wealth of river network and a diverse coast landscape, Brittany is particularly welcoming to inexperienced fishermen or keen amateurs. Many wild fish species live together in an extraordinary wide range of aquatic environment : lakes, ponds, rivers or even estuaries. In Brittany, you will find a wonderful mix of fishing and travelling delights, combined with a multitude of quiet and wild sites to set up a base camp during your campervan fishing trip. And, why not, a few sunsets over the ocean will come into the bargain !
The fish of Brittany
Finistère and west Morbihan are endowed with a high quality river network rich of trout, salmon and shad. The Ellé river, known as the most salmon-teeming river in Brittany, the charming Aven river or the Scorff river, all shelter wealthy populations of trouts and salmons. The smaller rivers, on the other hand, are populated by fario trouts. Amateurs of pike’s fishing will find an endless choice of fishing spots from Nantes to Brest, lake St Michel and many ponds. And if you are looking for a trophy fish, from 3 to 5 kg, you can catch bass fish from the coats or from a boat specially equipped for fly fishing ( 2 persons max).
