Hi, arriving in France tomorrow not far from Limoges.Would like some info on the River Vienne and Barbel please.
Try Aixe-sur-Vienne, opposite the camping ground off Rue Marcel Bourset. Go under the narrow railway bridge and leave your vehicle in the car park. Then walk about 150 metres downstream. Standard feeder tactics using sweetcorn or 6mm pellets should get you some nice chub and barbel to around 6lb plus a chance of a double figure carp. Alternatively there is a parcours de peche off the D32 signed St. Yriex Sous Vienne. Find a seam and fish feeder. There are more carp in that stretch so fish with a bit heavier line.Hi, arriving in France tomorrow not far from Limoges.Would like some info on the River Vienne and Barbel please.
You can't help some folkCan you tell me what kind of monsters live in the Vienne in the Aixe sur Vienne area, because I went there today in tourist mode and I was taken apart a good ten times on 0.22 Browning Hybrid Power Mono, hooks under 12 were staightened, I managed to hold a few nice fish with Drennan Super Specialist in 10 and 8, but they ended up getting the better of the 0.22 hook link.
Hi Clive, we were there for a one night stop-over on our return from the Dublin-Cherbourg overnight ferry. Back home now, great trip but knackered!That is outside my area Steve. I have fished about 30km upstream, piggy backing onto my working travels. But it is too far to travel for a day trip. I try to stay within an hour from home.
Back in the UK now but fished the river further down stream on opposite bank just below a barrage in Rue de Saint Jaques.Try Aixe-sur-Vienne, opposite the camping ground off Rue Marcel Bourset.

Upstream of Limoges is Le Palais sur Vienne which is a mixed fishery.
Don't forget that you need a Carte de Peche.
