Canal de Nantes à Brest

Canal de Nantes à Brest

The Nantes-Brest canal is located in the Loire-Atlantique department (44), in the Pays de la Loire region. It is a small gauge canal that connects the cities of Nantes and Brest and follows the valleys of the Erdre, the Isac, the Oust, the Blavet, the Doré, the Kergoat, the Hyères and Alder; these rivers are connected by three junction canals crossing water divides. Its construction dates back to the first half of the 19th century and its total length is 364 km. It offers a great fish wealth with the presence of many species of white fish, predators and cyprinids. The fishing pressure is relatively low and the carp are not suspicious. The main difficulty of fishing lies in the wind and the current which is quite strong especially at the beginning of the season. But it is all these random conditions that make the charm of river fishing ... The carp are cut to fight against the current and offer magnificent fights. 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).

It is prohibited day and night to transport live a carp of more than 60 cm. From one ½ after going to bed until one ½ after rising, no carp caught by anglers may be kept in captivity or transported. Vegetable baits are the only authorized baits. Only biwys, shelters and brolly tents are authorized (green or camouflage colors).
