Fishing schools aims

The passion for fishing has long passed from generation to generation. Unfortunately, the chain is broken and young people no longer took over to perpetuate this ancestral activity.

Fishing schools are an alternative to the transmission of knowledge from experienced anglers and offer learning and training structure for the practice of fishing. Fishing is practiced as a leisure activity but also as a sport in itself. The schools also organize discoveries of aquatic activities, flora and fauna in order to raise public awareness of the protection and rehabilitation of these environments.

Proposed activities

Fishing schools initiate the young and the less young at this wonderful practice which is fishing. During these courses, many topics are covered: water, river, aquatic environments, their fauna and flora, the different fishing techniques and all you need to know to become an environment-friendly fisherman.
