Ziggy Stardust Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 OH has been looking out for some good fishing spots here in Aveyron and we have seen the following sign:"Reserve de Peche - Frayeres Sandre"Could someone confirm exactly what this sign means please? I think it means you can still fish in this area, but not when the Zander are spawning. How close am I? [Www]Any info greatly appreciated.Many thanks,Lou.

Dick Smith Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I think it means no fishing - Zanders being raised. But then I could well be wrong... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Hi Lou, It means "NO FISHING" at any time at all, exactly the same as in "Reserve de Chasse" NO HUNTING.It is a legal procedure that has (or should have ) been put in place via the Prefecture.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Stardust Posted May 28, 2006 Author Share Posted May 28, 2006 Thanks chaps!Glad I checked [:-))]Lou. Edit: Just had a thought! If I see this sign has been removed, can I assume it's ok to fish there? I ask this as I know I have seen people fishing in this area! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Lou, I think you would be on rather dodgy ground, it's a protected zone, the fact that someone? had removed a sign might leave you with some difficult questions to answer, ever been pulled in by the French authorities? Frankly, if someone removed one of my signs and I found someone on my land I would have no hesitation in starting proceedings.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 We have a lake near us, entrée interdit, and the owner and his friends use it, so that may well be what you have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 Dick, Entrée Interdite is normally used on private fishing lakes where fishing can take place with the owners consent, payment or otherwise. Reserve de Peche or Peche Interdite means that nobody can fish including the owners. If it's a fishery there will be a licence in place for the removal and transport of the fish to other specified waters.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 28, 2006 Share Posted May 28, 2006 I think that there is elevage at the lake, and some private fishing, but the fish are transported elsewhere. There is only a field-boundary track leading to it, and we never see anything other than his little van rouge. It's a pity, because it is very picturesque, lots of birds as well.

Ziggy Stardust Posted May 29, 2006 Author Share Posted May 29, 2006 Thanks again for the info.Best steer clear! [Www]Lou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Or find someone to ask - it may be possible to fish if a little silver crosses the palm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Dick, behave yourself, if the signs wording is exactly as the poster wrote it is a criminal offence to fish there.I'm not joking, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Smith Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Not if you make an arrangement with the owner, surely? Or do you mean that when it is reservé no-one can use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris pp Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Check this out, it's only for one department but it should give you the picture, scroll down to reserves de peche.http://www.unpf.fr/37/VF/02_reglement.html Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Stardust Posted May 30, 2006 Author Share Posted May 30, 2006 Hi Chris and Dick,I can confirm that the wording was exactly as posted, and it is actually a section of the River Tarn, so not sure who the owner is!Many thanks for all the info.Lou.

Deimos Posted May 30, 2006 Share Posted May 30, 2006 Ownership and being allowed to do something can be different. I live in a water mill. The river runs through the house and I own the land on both sides of the mill channel for some way up and down stream. However, I was clearly and un-ambiguously told (by the Notaire) that if I want to fish I must buy a license – even if I fish on my own land, in my own mill pond or channel, etc. I still need to buy a license (though can apparently get one half priced). More than that I don’t understand (mainly as I’m not interested in fishing). Just that ownership does not always/necessarily give you fishing rights.
