Like Bream fishing, Wild Carp fishing on the river Aulne (Nantes to Brest canal section) is also right at your finger tips when you stay at our cottage with two private river access points behind your cottage garden. Anglers should concentrate on weir pools (ask Sam about the best spots when you arrive) for these wild common or mirrored beauties. In 2007, fish to around 22 pounds were landed near our gîte.

For sure you can catch bigger fish from stocked carp lakes in Brittany, however, they will not put up the pound-for-pound fight that these wild fish exhibit, and you will have the joy of knowing that you are the first human to set eyes on your quarry. You don't have to break the bank by using complicated ground bait methods or baits as store-bought groundbait works well carp and sweetcorn, maggots, and worms (or combinations of these baits) work very well.

Equipment such as an outdoor drying hut (for wet gear, boots, and tackle), bait refrigerator, landing nets, keep nets, bank sticks, chairs, and tackle preparation station with power outlets are provided to make your stay more enjoyable. Carp fishing and match angling is possible all-year-round on the river Aulne and our cottage is available to rent a year-round to keen carp and course anglers their partners and friends.

All Coarse fishing licenses (annual and holiday) are sold on site for your convenience.
