Canal de la Marne au Rhin – Secteur Saint Joire

The Marne au Rhin Canal - Saint Joire Sector - is one of the night carp routes in the Meuse department (55), in the Grand-Est region. The Marne-Rhine Canal, 314 kilometers long and originally 178 locks, connects the Marne (in Vitry-le-François) to the Rhine (in Strasbourg). Via the lateral canal of the Marne, it is connected to the navigable network of the Seine towards Île-de-France and Normandy. The particularity of the channel is that it has no current. Cut in reaches, it can have different and variable fish populations depending on the time or year. Indeed, carp can change reaches through the locks. The bottoms are particularly flat and edge fishing should be favored on the one hand because most of the natural food is concentrated there, and on the other hand when navigation is regular, it is better to avoid fishing. in the center of the canal. The nature of the bottom of a canal will depend on the substrate in which it was dug, but be aware that, except recent cleaning, mud may be present over most of the width. Natural food is mainly composed of larvae and insects, although anodont mussels can also be found on some and some American crayfish when there are grassland spots that should be fished as a priority. The uniformity of the banks is actually an asset in the sense that any anomaly or structure along the banks attracts carp and should guide you in choosing a position.

Fishing with vegetable baits only. The use of animal baits is prohibited to prevent accidental catches of predators. No carp caught by amateur anglers may be held in captivity or transported from half an hour after sunset until half an hour before sunrise. Day and night, the transport of a live carp over 60 cm is prohibited. Meuse Fishing Federation
