Pike
Fishing on St Michel Reservoir (Lac
du Brennilis)
Predator fishing is the
fastest growing freshwater angling pursuit in Brittany with many game
fishermen keen to try out the latest lures and techniques on their
favourite toothy critter. With a large reservoir to explore either by
shore fishing, wading, or boat fishing, you may not even bump into
another angler on any particular day. Also, don't be surprised if you
catch a specimen perch or big rainbow trout during your quest for
pike too!
St Michel reservoir or Lac
du Brennilis is
Finistère's premiere fishing reservoir at 450+ hectares. It is
teaming with fly and lure-snapping pike whose brilliant side livery
are like no other as Sam's clients have discovered in the past. By
far the best way to get the most out of your pike-fishing is by boat
(equipped with electric motors only) or wade so you can cover as much
productive shoreline as possible. The pike fishing season for 2007 on
the reservoir starts from mid May
and continues to the end of December.
The pike season was extended by one month this year to ensure that
the majority of the gravid females had laid there eggs.

Fishing Federation
 
Pike over 15 kilos have been
caught on this lake. Some examples of some specimen pike are provided
on this page so you don't think Sam is joking when it comes to the
size and beauty of St Michel pike. Also visit the gallery above for
more pics.

Fishing in the Nantes to Brest Canal (River Aulne section)
Pike love weir pools. On the
Nantes-to-Brest canal sections of the rivers, Hyere and Aulne, there
are an abundance of good weir pools to choose from. Sam has details
on hand to help you make an informed decision depending on the time
of year you come and fish. Pike and zander season on the Aulne starts in
January then is haulted from February
to the beginning of May
to allow for more successful reproduction, then fishing recommences
in mid May
and continues to the end of December.
Please remember that the minimum keeper
length for both Pike is 60cm.
