wild fishing in SW France

[simsima]

Hi - I'm new here so first I'll just say a general 'ow do, and a doff of the cap...

 

Next up, I'm looking for good fishing in South West France - BUT - I don't want to use the comercial fishing lakes. I want to fish wild. Does anyone have any tips as to how I'd find the best spots?

I am off to France near toulose tomorrow and going to be fishing the river averon, been told holds fish to 40+ and hardly sees any pressure, will let you know

Thanks Andrew - I'd apreciate it. I'm going to be here all summer so welcome any serious suggestions (have not been having much luck round me... )

 

Ideally I need pins on a map - does anyone know if there is such a 'holy grail' document of the area. Maybe Google do something but I've had no luck fishing for onne of those either (maybe I'm just plum out of luck!)

i go on holiday to the lot et garrone area most years for fishing holidays with the family (i am here now:) and try to look for these magic spots that everyone talks about i have not had much luck i met some english guys the other week who ran www.carpfishingtours.com who gave me loads of info about the river lot and a few lakes close by i have fished the stretch of river they told me about and i have had the best result in ages 2 x 20s and a 32 hope the lakes are as good
