For a fishing vacation in the Dordogne, let yourself be tempted by these 3 fishing spots near La Cigaline, your riverside campsite in the Dordogne. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5ySgZgVYxw
Le Tolerme
This 1st category stream near our Dordogne campsite flows through the Ségala region, an area of valleys where schist dominates. Access to this wild watercourse is difficult, but the experienced fisherman will be rewarded by the native fario trout he finds. Alongside this emblematic fish, minnows and gudgeons frolic in the rocky hollows. Notre-Dame de Verdale, commune of Latouille-Lentillac.
Lake Tauriac
This easily accessible2nd category lake, just a few kilometers from our campsite with swimming pool in the Dordogne, offers a wide variety of white fish. It’s the only spot in the Dordogne valley where you’ll find sun perch and carassin. Carp on the right bank. Lure fishing is forbidden, but the lake is an ideal spot to try your hand at other fishing techniques, such as jigging, live-fishing or still-fishing. The lake is also a leisure destination that the whole family will enjoy. Handi-fishing pontoon. Commune de Tauriac.
Ouysse bridge
The Ouysse, a category2 river that is largely underground, is revealed here in broad daylight as it mingles with the Dordogne. To the delight of the fish, which are numerous and of good size. Tench, vandoise, perch and roach spawn with bream, bleak, minnow, barbel, carp and gudgeon. Catch them with toc, fly, jig or lure. Hand-fishing pontoon, launch. Municipality of Lacave. This is just a glimpse of the Dordogne Valley’s fishing treasures. Take a trip back in time to the châteaux of Lanzac, La Treyne(Lacave) or Estresses(Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne). While it’s possible to travel by boat on the Dordogne, you should be aware that only boats and canoes are permitted between Argentat and the Dordogne.
and the Puybrun bridge, and we advise against using pass boats between Puybrun and Souillac. You can practice no-kill fishing on the popular courses at Saint-Céré, Saint-Basile de la Roche, Floirac and Argentat (trout and grayling), as well as at Lac de Miers Alvignac andEtang de Miel at Beygnat (black-bass). Good choice and good fishing! Further west, you’ll find some great fishing spots close to our Neuvic campsite. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
