Fishing in les Landes

Back

A fish and his manLes Landes offer more than 11 000 hectares of lakes and ponds, 6000 km of 2nd category courses, 1650 kms of 1st category river or little streams, many of which fall within the Parc Naturel Régional, as well as 100 kms of coast from which to fish. In the south of the department the River Adour flows south west to wards the sea and the border with the department of the Pyrenées Atlantiques and you are reasonably close to the excellent little trout rivers flowing down from the mountains. You will also need a fishing permit which can be purchased in any Tabac shop (newsagent in France).

Lakes, Ponds and streams.

There are a huge number of ponds and lakes in les Landes. Each lake or pond seems to have its own colour. The large coastal lakes from Seignosse to Biscarosse are unique. You can fish either from the bank or from boats with small motors for carp, perch, tench, pike, black bass or pikeperch. We recommend a local fishing guide at least initially. Before you make your reservation check the fishing seasons shown below for the fish in which you are interested.

The French Affair houses most convenient for the lakes from Seignosse to Biscarosse are: 220, 242

Surf castingSEA FISHING: You can go out in a boat with a local fishing guide to fish for tuna. Off season, when the beaches are less busy you can fish for sea bream or bass, surf casting. Surf casting is becoming increasingly popular in this part of France.
