Le Palais

Le Palais cuts through Pays de la Loire, France and offers classic river fishing. The local patterns are the universal river patterns: fish the heads of pools at first light, the deep slow water in the middle of the day, and the tail-outs as light fades. Light tackle and a careful drift go a long way at Le Palais — heavy splashes spook a whole pool.

Fishing Techniques

• For Common rudd

  Rudd often feed near the surface, so try using a float or fishing without weights to present your bait naturally.

• For Common carp

  Pre-bait the area with a similar bait you plan to fish with to attract carp and increase your chances.

• For Wels catfish

  Fish near structures like fallen trees or bridges, as Wels catfish are ambush predators and like to hide.
