Fishing for trout is popular on the Verzere, although a degree of patience is required as its bed of peat and granite produces more \u2018nervous\u2019 fish than fat ones.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1172\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1172\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vintagetravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/fishing-in-dordogne.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1172\" title=\"fishing in dordogne\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vintagetravel.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/fishing-in-dordogne.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"232\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fishing in the River Dordogne is a real treat for fishermen<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The mighty River Dordogne is home to grayling, pike, salmon, sea trout, shad and zander, although fishing for salmon and sea trout is prohibited on this river. From the towns of Argentat to Beaulieu the river is at its cleanest and is where you can fish for grayling. The Dordogne is a fast flowing river, although the hydroelectric barrage at Lalinde slows the river down, making it a good spot for wading.<\/p>\n<p>Compared to the River Dordogne, the River Sorgue is a much slower flowing river due to a considerable number of weirs located along the river. Because of this, fishing conditions are more similar to those of a lake than a river, which appeals to the more amateur of fisherman.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that a fishing permit, or \u2018carte blanche\u2019, is required to fish on any river in the Dordogne unless you book through a privately owned fishing holiday whereby licenses are usually included.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on fishing in the Dordogne and France visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.go-to-france.co.uk\">www.go-to-france.co.uk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h5>Looking for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vintagetravel.co.uk\/villa_list.cfm?area_id=4&amp;offer=Villas in South West France\" target=\"_blank\">luxury accomodation in The Dordogne<\/a>?<\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France is a country of stunningly diverse landscapes.
