Fishing in Broceliande

In Brocéliande, no worries to be had, fishing will be fruitful ! At one condition : having a fishing card !

Fishing card

Take care of it before trowing your line, the fishing card is mandatory ! For a day, a week or a year, numerous cards exist to cater to your needs. Come by the Tourist Office and get your fishing card directly at our desk ! You can also get one online on the official website of adhesion to the AAPPMAs.

 

A few informations…

The whole of the water springs and bodies of water of Paimpont’s community of commune are handled by the Ille et Vilaine federation for fishing and aquatic environment protection (FDAAPPMA) and by the Agregated Associations for Fishing and Protecting the Aquatic Environment (AAPPMA).

There, modest and proud streams coexist. Trout and salmon inhabit our smallest brooks while white fishes and predatory fishes live in mightiest streams and ponds. That way, you’ll have the opportunity to enjoy the significant water network of Broceliande as soon as fishing period starts. Get your taste buds ready to enjoy freshly fished fish !

Each creek and waterbody can have specific regulations. Please, consult them on :federationpeche.com/35.

Be careful to the opening of fishing season ! According to fish speacies, the date varies. For more infos, check federationpeche.com/35.
