fishing in the Correze

Hi all, can anyone give me information on fishing here.... we have a friend coming to stay who's a keen angler and wants to know if there are any fishing lakes in the Uzerche or Seilhac areas Also how does he get a permit ? I know zilch about the sport personally....    many thanks in advance    Linda

Hi
you do not say if it is course fishing or game fishing,but you have plenty of both on the local rivers and lakes.The visitor can obtain a holiday/visitors licence which lasts two weeks and can be obtained from many outlets such as the local shops and garages.Tell him to bring two passport size photos for his licence and the jobs a good' un.please note that some places are private/club lakes for which an extra fee is required.

Hi,

The lake on the right as you approach the roundabout at Seilhac is reserved for fishermen. The lake at Vigeois is also good for fishing.

thanks Amber- do you know where to get permits- also do you know where the trout fishing lake is where you can buy your catch? best regards, linda  

Tony has already given you the website with all the information you asked for, but here are some places you can buy a permit de pêche from said website, as well as a contact name and number of the association de pêche, whom you can 'phone for any further information:

It looks as though the fishing at Seilhac is delayed until May - http://www.ville-seilhac.com/ouverture-de-la-peche

The trout farm is on the road from Lubersac to Coussac Bonneval, the first turning to the right after the Tourist Information Office in the square. It's always worth a visit as you can fish for carp or trout in the big lake (buying a half day or day ticket) or just catch your tea at the other 'pond' - you have to pay for what you catch, so don't get too carried away!   

many thanks
