Pike fishing in Brittany

Fishing on the lake Saint Michel

The lake Saint Michel (also called lake of Brennilis) is the biggest lake of Brittany (450 hectares). It is also, we can say it without doubt, the most beautiful, in its setting of peat bogs, moors and gorse that inevitably remind an Irish lake.

It is nestled at the bottom of a geological old basin surrounded by small mountains, the Monts d’Arrhée. Its water is dark and acid, and the presence in its waters of big pikes is not a legend!

But contrary to what we sometimes think and hear, the fishing is pretty difficult. Nevertheless, one can reasonably expect to catch 1 or 2 pikes per day, with real chances of catches approaching or exceeding one meter on several days.

Depending on the season, an acute knowledge of the lake and its spots are necessary to get the best out of your rod!

I do guiding in spinning, casting (especially with big bait), and also fly fishing.

I can guide you in 3 ways on the lake :

– from the shore. The lake lends itself well to this but you need to know the different accesses from the shore or by wading. It is not possible to fish everywhere, and some places do not hold any pike, while others hold many!

– On my boat, which is based next to the lake of Brennilis and is always ready to go on water. Be careful, in medium wind, only some parts of the lake are fishable depending on the wind direction.

– On your boat, this allows you to familiarize yourself with this lake, which is huge. As I often hear from newcomers: “here everything looks the same, and it is too big. We don’t know where to start, where to stop and fish”.

Fishing from the shore or on your boat everywhere in Brittany

I also guide in the 4 Bretons departments (dep. 29/22/56/35) for pike. I can therefore move in your favorite place, whether in lake, pond, canal or river. Do not hesitate to contact me, I could accompany you from the shore or on your boat.

I have a very good global knowledge of pike fishing, and I have the chance to know the vast majority of Breton waters about pike.

I can also help you discover a technique that you do not practice : I regularly teach casting (big bait) or fly fishing!
