Sam powering up for a
long cast to a well-cloaked rise! |
Just a 25-minute drive north our home,
Stang Korvenn, is Brittany's premiere 500 hectare (1250 acre) rainbow
trout reservoir. This peaty, whisky-coloured lake is stocked each
year with hardy local rainbows ranging from 1 to 2.5 kilos which are
raised at the nearby salmon and trout fish farm at La Favot. For 2008
in addition to the stock of good average fish, there will be a head
of bigger fish added to the lake (see pic of Ted below as
proof). As any seasoned angler will tell you, rainbows in reservoirs
tend to fight harder than their smaller stillwater cousins, and you
may catch the cream of the stockies, the beautifully-finned,
'over-wintered' fish, not to mention the occasional wild brown trout
which may enter the lake via various feeder streams.

In comparison to UK reservoirs, St Michel
rainbows receives extremely little fishing pressure. Fly fishing on
the eastern bank at 'Camping', for example, can yield excellent
catches as this area allows the wading fly angler to stalk a large
area for rising fish or sub-surface feeders. However to experience
this lake in full, Sam offers boat-based fishing outings to those who
yearn to catch these fine rainbows 'loch-style'. To fish St Michel,
licensed anglers need only purchase a fishing stamp from Sam in
addition to their regular or holiday fishing permit. The rainbow
season starts from mid March
and continues to the end of December.
Good fishing!
