Where to Fish in Brittany, France

Brittany has some of the best fishing rivers and lakes in France, as well as something like a third of France's coastline, giving a great variety for keen anglers.

Fresh Water River Fishing

Rivers like the Blavet are vastly under utilized. There are very few boats using the Blavet and river side access is excellent. The river is of a fairly consistent depth and width making it ideal for match fishing or fishing festivals.

The table below shows the main fishing rivers in the Morbihan department of Brittany, listing the relevant fish species that can be found in each river with a column to indicate the abundance of those fish ('3' indicates a very abundant fish whereas '1' indicates that the fish is present but not necessarily in huge numbers).
