Stocked pond fishing for speckled trout
The pond is stocked with speckled (mouchetée) trout sized roughly 8–13 inches; the experience is designed for people learning to fish as well as experienced anglers who want to top up their dinner.
A short walk from the inn—no licence required
The fishing area sits about 100 metres from the auberge, is shore‑based (no boats), and does not require a provincial fishing licence, making it convenient for guests and families.
All the basics supplied for a simple half‑day
Rods and a small quantity of live bait are provided for the half‑day session, and a quota system applies so anglers leave knowing what is included and what extras cost.
What the day feels like
What the Half‑Day Feels Like
You arrive as a guest of the pourvoirie or auberge, collect a rod and your allotted bait, then amble the short distance to the pond edge. Fishing is done from shore and runs as a focused half‑day: a relaxed, hands‑on session aimed at putting trout on the line and, quite possibly, on the dinner table.
