Clé France

Starting to think about going fishing in France again soon as I am not a true fishing sportsman who likes to brave the winter months, more of a set up the rods, picnic by the river with copious wine, cheese and bread, long nap, wake up and pack up; then call in at the fishmongers on the way home to buy a couple of big trout to present to her ladyship for supper!

There are quite a few properties next to rivers and there is one that is just perfect for trout fishing - JUH00125 is on the market for 179,950 euros FAI.

This brand new 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is situated next to a river that winds through the lovely village of Grouches-Luchuel in the Picardy region of northern France. The village is near historic fields of battle through the ages and the nearest town of Doullens has the oldest citadel in France due to it's historic location as a frontier town.

Set in a plot of 756 sqm bordered by the river Grouches which is a grade-1 Trout river with 11 authorised positions (two by the house 1 by front garden and 1 by the back - how cool is that for fishing) between the Moulin and the bridge. 

See the attachments on the listing detailing how to join the fishing club and get access to all the lakes and rivers in this part of France.

A little further to travel, from the UK, but Upper Normandy and Lower Normandy offer very good fishing too.

Anybody got any good fishing stories in France?
