Message from Chris – for the angler

“Fishing on the Blavet is a real pleasure: peaceful, uncrowded and full of surprises. The river holds carp, bream, roach, pike, trout and zander. You can fish from the platform right outside the front door of the gîte.

Bream and roach respond well to feeder‑fished corn with a little groundbait. Carp are often found under the far‑bank trees — try boilies or maize with light pre‑baiting. Upstream of the weir you’ll find overhanging trees and lily pads, perfect for wild carp. Mornings and evenings are best.

These are strong, uncaught wild fish — use robust tackle (15 lb BS) and always respect the fish. An unhooking mat is recommended.

Enjoy your stay and tight lines!
Chris
