Le Canal de la Souchez

Le Canal de la Souchez

The Souchez is a partly channeled river in northern France called the Canal de la Souchez. The Canal de la Souchez is located in the department of Pas-de-Calais (62), in the Hauts de France region. With a course of 13.6 kilometers, it constitutes the upstream course of the Deûle and arises from the merger of two streams: the Carency and the Saint-Nazaire. It can have different and variable fish populations depending on the time or year. It is home to a rich diversity of white fish (bleak, bream, rudd, roach, tench), predators (pike, pike perch, perch) and intermediate-sized common and mirror carps. Note also the presence of migratory fish such as eel. 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 canal bottoms 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. The 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.

Only baits of vegetable origin or reconstituted flour are authorized. No captured carp may be kept in captivity or transported. Only green biwys and shelters are tolerated. The biwys must be equipped with light signaling devices. The sound level of the detectors should be set to the minimum. The use of BACK-LEAD is mandatory. Navigation is prohibited at night on rivers open to carp fishing at all hours. Night and day, respect for public tranquility, other fishermen (on board or not) and water users.
