Here at Fishing in France we believe you should enjoy your fishing, so we do not have many rules. The rules we do have are to protect you the angler, the fishery and most importantly the FISH! Please read the rules below before requesting a brochure as the rules applied to both fisheries and ALL anglers.

• No Leadcore.
• Rig tubing to be used at all times, this reduces risk of line damage to fish. Rig tubing must be at least 28" to ensure no scale and fin damage occurs when playing fish.
• Sacking of fish is prohibited unless prior consent from bailiff.
• A maximum of three rods per angler.
• No nuts of any description.
• Only particles prepared and supplied by Fishing in France may be used on any of our waters, this includes pellets and all groundbaits.
• No braided main lines, mono-filament only.
• No fine braided hook links may be used, this includes Kryston Merlin style braids, coated hook link materials such as Mantis or Snakebite are ok.
• No radio controlled bait boats.
  No fixed rigs of any kind.
• Rods must attended to at all times.
• Unhooking mats are provided and must be used for all fish.
• The fish must be treated with the up most care and respect at all times - regardless of species.
• No artificial baits ie plastic sweet corns etc.
• No shelf life Boilies as these seldom are eaten by our fish and just go rotten on the lake bed.  Frozen baits only.
• No trout pellets to be used due to the high oil content, C7 pellets may be used and can be purchased on site at a very reduced rate.  This is a carp conditioning pellet and promotes fish health unlike trout pellet which can do the reverse if used to excess.
• These rules are not intended to restrict any anglers fishing but to ensure all parties have equal opportunity to catch consistently and to ensure fish growth and condition.   All particles, method mixes are available at the venue, supplied at below UK tackle shop prices.

Etang Des Flores specific rules

Due to Etang des Flores being stocked with catfish in excess of 120lb, anglers wishing to target this species must come with the appropriate tackle - main lines to exceed 20lb.
52" landing nets are a must!
Braided hook links of 30lb plus to be used.

Advice: If you intend to fish the cats make sure you have at least a 2¾lb TC Specimen Rod or you will never hold these beasts.
