Fishing courses Aquitaine

In the series of gaves, rivers, torrents and streams... the Gave du Saison, the central axis of the Soule, 54 kilometres and 400 kilometres with its tributaries, from the Gave de Larrau and the Gave de Sainte-Engrâce, presents the most beautiful fishing course! Classified in 1st category, this river lends itself to all types of fishing, but mainly to fly fishing or fishing with the toc; the trout are very "biting" from April, wild, called fario! (Specific cartography available at the Tourist Office of Soule de Tardets).

The Nivelle, a European river of 39 km, crosses the Spanish territory and then, in its great majority, the French territory on the communes of Ainhoa, Sare, Ciboure and flows into the bay of St-Jean-de-Luz. Totally classified in 1st category and Index River by the ICES (International Council for the Exploitation of the Sea) and blue axis by the SDAGE (Master plan of Development and Management of Water). We fish the fario trout, present on the Nivelle and in its tributaries (more than 90 streams). Here, 10/100th or 12/100th line leaders are de rigueur.

This campsite has plenty to offer: you can pitch your tent, park your caravan or motorhome, go hiking or cycling, have a drink in the bar or a meal in the restaurant. But what interests anglers most of all is the opportunity to dip their rods in the lake. All they have to do is pay a fixed fee to the campsite owners. This package is available to all anglers holding a fishing licence.

Whether you're an intrepid beginner or a seasoned angler, whether you're on your own, with your family or in a group, we're here to help you discover the world of fishing. In the enchanting setting of Sare, one of France's most beautiful villages, Guillaume, a qualified instructor and fishing guide, invites you to explore the pleasures of fishing for Basque trout, which are 100% wild, in rivers. Varied waterways such as the Nivelle, Nive and lakes, as well as the exceptional Spanish rivers nearby, provide a vast playground for this wonderful experience.
