Fishing in the Vézère and Auvézère and Coly Rivers
Our territory is blessed with three rivers suitable for fishing, each offering a luxurious setting in the middle of a wild and at the same time peaceful nature.
- La Vézère: 2nd category. From Terrasson-Lavilledieu to Montignac on the Vézère, the minimum catch sizes are: pike: 60 cm / pikeperch: 50 cm / perch: 15 cm.
- L'Auvézère: 2nd category. Marking the limit between the Corrèze and the Dordogne, the Auvézère is full of fish such as barbel, vandoise, chub, roach, gudgeon, minnow, pike, perch, carp.
- Le Coli: 1st category. The Coly, a tributary stream of the Vézère and known for its siphon, the longest in Europe and the second longest in the world, is mainly populated by trout.
