La Saône – Secteur Gergy

La Saône – Secteur Gergy

The Saône - Sector Gergy - is a river located in the department of Saône-et-Loire (71), in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. It is the main right tributary of the Rhône. It also crosses the Grand-Est region and the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. With a length of nearly 480 kilometers, it is the ninth longest river in France. The Saône has its source in Vioménil at the foot of Ménamont, south of the Seuil de Lorraine in the Vosges department (88), at an altitude of 405 meters. It merges with the Rhône at Lyon, at an altitude of 163 meters. The Saône is divided into three sections: Haute, Petite and Grande Saône. It is an essential river as much for its size as for the diversity of its fish populations, it will satisfy all types of fishermen and lovers of wild nature. It offers a high density of predators (pike, pike perch, perch, catfish), a high density of white fish and a remarkable herd of combative wild common and mirror carps that can reach considerable weights. For the posts, it will be necessary to look in priority for posts sheltered from the current, a dead arm, an island point, a hole followed by a shoal and congested places (submerged branches, grass beds, water lilies).

Fishing will only be carried out using vegetable baits and from the banks. From half an hour after sunset to half an hour before sunrise, no carp caught by amateur anglers can be kept in captivity or transported. At all times, no carp over 60 centimeters may be transported alive. On the rivers belonging to the public domain, different uses are present. In all circumstances, priority is given to navigation. Amateur fishermen with lines or gear adapt their activity so as not to interfere with boats as well as professional fishermen in the exercise of their profession. Saône-et-Loire Fishing Federation
