Fishing, the essential activity to try / practice during a river cruise!
In France and Europe, we have a large network of waterways crossing various landscapes. This makes it possible to take advantage of various activities to be carried out during the stages. Indeed, during a river cruise, we do not just sail. There are also times when we stop, a few hours or days, to visit a city, monuments, relax and also, practice some activities. And among the essentials, there is fishing, line or fly for example. If there is one way of traveling that lends itself, it is river tourism! Especially since everyone can get started, beginners and regulars, children and adults alike.
An activity ideal for relaxing and suitable for young and old
In French and European rivers and canals, fish are numerous. For example, in Charente we find bream, bleak and roach. In the Lot, it is possible to catch pike, carp, perch and catfish. In Scotland, they are mostly trout and big - pike. To know the species and the rules to respect to fish, think to inform you before your departure, near the associations or federations. Similarly, if you are not used to indulge in this activity, know that you need a fishing card and equipment (bait, line, hooks, basket for your catch and a cane of course!) .
Unlike other activities, fishing does not require leaving your boat or barge. You practice it from the bridge, which is quite fun for the kids. You can also do it on the banks because there are often arranged pontoons. And as a family, this sport is ideal to spend good moments together, discover a new hobby in a bucolic setting.
The cruise, the perfect time to fish in a canal or river
There are many benefits to fishing. This allows you to recharge your batteries, to empty, to relax, to enjoy time, to escape from everyday life.
