dates openings 2009

Since the dates of openings of fishing are defined according to the category of the rivers, let us examine first of all which are the principal differences.

In France, in a river of first category the piscicultural settlement dominating consists of salmonidés (trout, omble knight, shade common, salmon of fountain, huchon,). This type of river is often called river with trouts.

This category of river goes from the torrent of high mountain to the river or the brook of plain, and generally corresponds to the higher course of the rivers or French rivers. This type can also apply for certain lakes and French ponds.

Fishing in this type of river is generally open of at the beginning of March with at the end of September.

In a river of second category the dominant biological species is primarily made up of white fish and carnivores (pike, pike perch, and pole).

This type of river is generally in plain (altitude lower than 400 m), and corresponds to the lower course of the rivers or French rivers. This type can also apply for certain lakes and French ponds.

The declaration of the type of a river is carried out by the O.N.E.M.A. which takes care on the protection of the ecosystems of the rivers and French lakes.

Fishing in this type of river is open all the year for white fish and generally of at the beginning of May with at the end of December for the carnivores (pike, pike perch).

In opposition to the rivers or lakes of 1st category water quality of these types of river is very contrasted, it is often polluted there and the phenomenon of eutrophication there is often met, from where the massive presence of large fish of the Bremen type, or carp able to resist in this water of bad quality.

The presence of pike in this type of river decreases more and more because of the rarefaction of natural zones of abrasion (draining of the floodplains, drain of the rivers,)

In certain rivers which keep a constant flow all the year and a good quality of water it is not rare to meet trouts there or even still shades commun runs.

Generally all the large rivers and French rivers are declared in second category in their lower course (the Seine, the Loire, the Rhone,) what clearly indicates the water quality of the great rivers French
