If catching rainbows in stillwaters just
isn't your thing, then try catching them in fast-flowing brackish
water--for most of us it will be the closest we ever get to steelhead
fishing! The place to be is just downstream of Guilly Glaz,
Port Launay's flood defense lock. In the not-too-distance past, a
large number of 3 to 4 pound rainbows escaped from their pens in the
Bay of Brest. These 'escapee' trout have now made their way up
most rivers including the Aulne to provide local and visiting anglers
a great alternative to swinging their flies and lures for Atlantic salmon.

These rainbows are very aggressive and will
take most large flies that are presented to them. You can catch them
on any stage of the incoming tide, however, larger tides producing
better flow rates seem to produce more fish. Please note that even
though your are fishing in brackish water, you must possess a
proper annual, holiday, or day fishing license (click here for
rates) which can be purchased from Sam. Whether you fish with a
single or double-handed rod, swinging a fly for rainbows can make for
a fun fishing session.

double-handed 'dangle' tactics
Aside from these 'Breton steelhead', you
can catach sea bass, mullet, salmon, and shad in the same area on the fly.
SAFETY NOTE: Since
this area is very muddy and is full of slippery slate, Sam
recommends that you use
proper wading gear (e.g.
waders with studded soles) and use a wading stick.
