River Trout Fishing in Normandy

[Jon Mathias]

Dear All

I am planning to rent a cottage for a couple of weeks in Normandy this June and am hoping to do some dry-fly river fishing for trout.

I have only been fishing for a season and that on stillwaters only so I'm hoping to avoid heavily overgrown riverbanks.

Can anyone suggest suitable tackle, locations, links to French websites etc?

Thanks for your help
Jon

Having been overwhelmed by the volume of replies to my query, can anyone suggest a fly fishing website with a more active membership?

Normandy is not top of everyone's list as far as venues go, so instead of berating everyone for not having the answers to a fairly obscure question, why don't you do a little work for yourself. I went to www.google.com and typed in 'flyfishing France', it gave me a whole load of leads and useful sites. Why didn't you do the same?
