I have made several trips this Autunm to this wonderful river. Each trip has found a wonderful hatch of Blue Winged Olives taking place early morning, thining out by lunch time.
The dry fly fishing is difficult, particularly on the catch and release part at Argentat. But the fish will take a well presented Para Dun. Cdc flies seems to be the most common fly used by the French anglers, but I think the fish wise up very quickly to flies all looking the same?
I have taken as many fish on heavy nymphs fished ' high sticking' on a short line, and they have been the better fish!
I would warn anyone about the wading, in the mighty river. Take care, and wear a life jacket if your unsure on your feet, and a wading staff is essential!!
