River fishing |Destination Quimperlé les rias

Destination Quimperlé les rias offers no less than 250 kilometres of first-class rivers and streams for anglers in South Finistère. There are plenty of fishing spots for experienced anglers, but also open to beginners with a fishing licence.

The Ellé, a 1st category river

A river classified as 1st category is mainly populated by salmonids (salmon, trout). This classification is accompanied by fishing rules that all freshwater anglers should be aware of. Like its neighbours, the Isole and the Scorff, the Ellé is a very popular river for trout, pike and salmon fishing.

Anglers can enjoy the exceptional natural setting while catching fish. The rivers of Destination Quimperlé les rias are renowned for their clear water and shallow depths, making them ideal for fly fishing. Whether you're just starting out or are a beginner, the Ellé and the Isole are sure to produce some great catches.

L'Ellé est une rivière de première catégorie dans le Finistère Sud.

Fishing is permitted from 2e Saturday in March to 3e Sunday in September, ½ hour before sunrise and until ½ hour after sunset.

Fly fishing, a widespread technique

Fly fishing, a combination of outdoor activity, leisure and sport, is very popular with freshwater anglers. This fishing technique involves using a light rod and line fitted with an artificial fly to catch fish such as trout or salmon. For fly fishermen who are respectful of their environment, no-kill means releasing the fish after they have been caught.

The spots on the Ellé offer fly-fishing enthusiasts all the ingredients they're looking for: quality scenery, a natural river and plenty of wild fish! Find out more about the different routes, access, fish and techniques on the peche-en-finistere.fr website.
