MOTHER WATER

Natural site to discover

Water Mother is a little frequented stream that descends from the Monts Mountains, where it winds in very wooded gorges. Downstream of Sauxillanges, the river widens to 5 m, and flows lazily in the middle of the meadows, alternating with smooth lengths lined with roots, with little little currents. Its bed, covered with sand and gravel, is often bordered by large trees, which can make the practice of fly fishing delicate. Upstream of Sauxillanges, where the river is bordered with conifers, trout are numerous but often small. On this route, on the contrary, trees leave the place to pasture and trout, whose density remains important, reaches more interesting dimensions. This very rich water also houses a good wall population, while the chevesnes are only starting to show up from Saint-Rémy-de-Charniat.
