New for 2024: Creation of a fishing school.
Enrolment will open on 1 March 2024.
This school is aimed at children aged 8 to 12.
Two cycles of 3 sessions will enable children to learn angling and reel fishing (carp fishing).
The 3-hour sessions (from 2pm to 5pm) on Saturdays will give children the chance to practise these two fishing techniques, while learning about the equipment, baits, accessories and other tricks to help them become independent anglers.
Angling for roach, bream, etc. 23 and 30 March, 13 April 2024
Reel fishing for carp using a feeder: 04, 11 and 18 May 2024
Prices: €60 for my 6 sessions. Children receive a free "Étang de la Fontaine" fishing licence for the year.
