Wild brown trout Fly Fishing in Brittany
Finistère holds more than 4500 km of first class rivers which give us a lot of choices!
I offer my fly fishing guide service in southern Brittany on a wide variety of rivers in the department but also on the Scorff (56), on section that I selected for their potential, the beauty of the places but also their population of wild brown trout. It should be known that in southern Brittany, it is only patrimonial management since many years which means that is only 100% wild brown trout fisheries. Whether you are beginner, confirmed or expert, I offer my services for all the techniques that fly fishing offers: dry fly, wet fly, streamer, or french nymphing, ... Techniques that I practice since 1993 in France and abroad.

Elle and Isole River(29)
The area of Quimperlé has a large river system, which offers a wide selection of rivers often known for Atlantic salmon but which are also very interesting for wild brown trout fishing. The upper stretches of the Elle River is a good example of what southern Brittany has to offer with beautiful areas for trout, but also on the Isole river, its main tributary, a real paradise for trout fishing in a wild valley. These rivers offer a great diversity of landscapes, profiles, synonymous of a quality diversified fishing. Depending on the season, I will take you out to discover the landscape and fishing potential of these rivers of renown.
Quimper Rivers (29)
Quimper, which is written "Kemper" in Breton means confluence. Indeed, the Odet River receives the Steir River coming from the west and Jet River coming from the East. These three rivers are all different in terms of profile, width and length and allow to practice a varied fishing throughout the season. The magnificent stretch of "Stangala", located on the Odet River just above Quimper is a good example. Very beautiful section with many blocks and good looking spots. In another style the Jet River, is a small river which flows peacefully and where the deep holes welcome beautiful trout and sometimes salmon. The Steir is a mixed river with beautiful currents, pretty pits and a very interesting varied fishing.
