Contact Sam for details Fly fishing for big rainbows in reservoir St Michel (mid March-end Dec). Try bank fishing, wading, float tubing or drifting 'loch style' on Sam's boat. Be one of the privileged few to fly fish for this tarpon of the Breton rivers. Normally, Allis shad start returning to our rivers in mid April and are keen to take the fly up to June in some years. One of the best fighting and tasting fishes in our coastal shores. These beasts will bend your rod into new geometric shapes. Great fun on lures, jigs, and myriad natural baits. Git fit as these fish will test your arms. European Sea bass are undoubtedly the king of sea fish in France. You can catch these hard-fighting delicious fish all year round via a myriad of techniques (e.g. lure, fly, trolling and surf casting with local baits). Golden grey mullet are one of the most challenging yet satisfying sea fish to catch on light fly tackle. With some good flies, some tidal/feeding knowledge, catching your first wild, Golden grey mullet can come true. Slow fishing days are saved by the accommodating mackerel. However, when caught on light spinning or fly tackle, this green and black fish turns into an electrified missile. Introduce your kids to some fishing fun. For many, catching a sea bass on the fly is the pinnacle of fishing in France. These finned beauties are indeed ferocious fighters, as well as sought after table fare. Arrange a day fo fly or lure fishing for sea bass with Sam. Spring Atlantic salmon fishing starts in mid March and continues to the end of May during most years. Every year we get a good run of early springers. Contact Sam to set up your spring salmon fishing trip. Within a 5 minute drive from our home, you can fish wild rivers for native Breton brown trout. Just being in the river stalking fish and taking in the surroundings is enough to make any hardened anglers smile. Come fish Brittany to do exactly that, SMILE. For surfcasters seeking a fish that is both strikingly beautiful and delicious, you need to experience fishing for Gilthead sea bream. It's a summer figher. At Fish and Fun Brittany, we focus not only on experienced and novice anglers, we really enjoy getting the kids involved in the sport. Above, Sam's son, Theo, proudly holds his first line-caught cuttlefish. It became fresh fried-calimari rings later that evening.
