This web site is addressed to the fly fishermen , not by sectarianism, but rather for the immoderate passion of this technique which animates its two creators. Information and councils appearing aim there only to make discover and appreciate this splendid French area. Our experiment of Nives, though limited to approximately a dozen years of practice, is nevertheless quite real since we live in the heart of this splendid rivers system. The inhabitants of the area, very often reserved of first access, will be themselves very attaching if you do not behave as in conquered territory. Never forget to close again a fence, do not trample the already high hays. A hello or a request for authorization before reaching the river (if the owner of the field is in the vicinity), will be always appreciated. To take a few minutes to discuss with a shepherd, to give a trout or two to an old person living the river banks, and looking at you bus not being more able taking them it even, will enrich you and make appreciate the fishermen not seen always well (due to abuse and degradations perpetrated by some).

A typical brown trout of Nive of Aldudes, larges fins, a slender body with big dark spots. A real splendour of the river.

Not being unconditional "NO KILL", we however urge you to limit your taking away, whether it is in a number or the face of fish. The regulation, having course on these courses seems to us particularly unsuited. To take a trout of 18 cm (troutlet would be righter), whereas the growth of those in certain rivers semi limestone is significant, plank the ridiculous one. Except on the courses of the heads of creeks, to keep a trout below 25 cm, will not contribute to improve the future fishing parties. Especially never despair , yes, in our opinion the fish from here are most savage that they was given to us to fish. Except during constant hatches or with the blow of the evening, most of the time the most minor error of presentation, one too strong shoot , the passage of the line or the tippet to the top of trout, a micro hardly detectable dredging, and it is the immediate escape.

To put all the chances on your side: be of a discretion of otter, save all your movements, and if you can place your fly of only one shoot, it will be the ideal. If the river seems to you like dead, carry out a small test by fishing water with a fly passes everywhere, and if that does not prove conclusive, change river or move far upstream or downstream. The rivers are very often close from to each other, and in less than one half hour you will be on-site on a course where the fish will be laid out surely better. More specific requests for information could be addressed to us by email. According to our spare time we will try to bring a fast answer there. By hoping that all these splendid rivers will offer unforgettable fishing parties to you . Jean-Sebastien and Yvon. we need your indulgence about the approximate translation in english, you will help us by suggest the correct way. Thank you in advance.
