Fishing in Creuse
|
|
|
The Creuse
has a considerable halieutic heritage with about 4000 km of rivers
and brooks and 3000 hectares of lakes and stretches of water.
Our
sector is representative of this richness with the Petite
et Grande Creuse, plenty of small 1st category brooks and especially,
the 3 lakes of the country of... the 3 Lakes' country ! , formed
by the Age, the Chézelles and
the Champsanglard dams.
So
as not to lose you in a mass of unuseable information, we will simply describe and summarise
the related aspects to fishing in our sector.
Here is our practical
synopsis:

Fishing
licences :
You can only fish with your membership card of a
Certified Fishing Association (A.A.P.P.M.). Do not forget to stick
your identity photograph to this one. Six formulae are proposed:
Complete fishing licence
Makes it possible to practise fishing in 2nd
category with 4 lines and in 1st category with 1 line on river and
2 lines on stretches of water, whatever the means of fishing authorized
by the legislation.
Licence with reduced
taxes 1
Makes it
possible
to practise fishing only in 2nd category with 4 lines except rod-and-reel
fishing, live bait, fly, shrimp net, carafe.
Young licence
Makes it
possible to practise fishing in the same conditions
as the complete licence for the young people of less than 16 years
old.
Holidays licence
Makes it
possible to practise fishing in the same conditions
as the complete licence between the 1st of June and the 30th of
September included throughout 15 consecutive days starting from
the delivery date.
Daily licence

possible
to fish at the day but it is only granted by some A.A.P.P.M.
Halieutic Club tax
Allows a complete fishing licence's owner, member of the Halieutic
Club, to practise in all the other adherent departements. Creuse
is concerned with this reciprocity.

This category is home to a main characteristic salmon species including some
beautiful specimens of brown trout (autochton stocks ), in particular
in the sparkling rivers of the departement.
The grayling is
also present, but only in some rivers (legal size: 30cm).
In
the 1st category, fishing
is authorized with only 1 fishing rod,
except in the reservoirs where an exemption authorizes the fishing
with 2.

is open there all year long except the specific closing periods
of certain species (see our table, above). These waters shelter
a chief characteristic "cyprinidés" species. The
number of authorized fishing rods is 4.
