spot nbr # 4 on the map On this page below, you will discover The upper Dordogne in the Quercy and in Corrèze - We believe that it is the best spot of the French south-west to combine outstanding tourism and gastronomie of the Perigord with prime fly-fishing atmosphere. Rough situation map

La Dordogne in Quercy and Corrèze is a wide powerful stream. It is also a meeting point for a nice choice of smaller rivers and also a meeting point for many of the best French fly fishermen. Good fly fishing tackle shop. Good fly tyiers. Good professional guides. Many beautiful places to see around. This area has everything to attract visitors. May, June and late September would be the 1st choice, but the smaller streams are excellent early starters for March or April. Fish are challenging wild browns and grayling. Touring in the Périgord Périgord is a region that each francophile should have visited at least one time. After this first visit, many of the foreign visitors have purchased a holiday house. There is a special douceur de vivre in the Périgord found nowhere else. Each site is an enchantment, and the food is gorgeous. Our fishing spots are situated between the nicest towns on the bank of the Dordogne. In the backcountry nearby are found Sarlat, Collonges la rouge and Lascaux. You can click here to open a very interesting website about the caves of Lascaux. Reputed brown trout & grayling fishing There are 5 rivers of easy reach, some easy, some very sportif flowing across deep gorges. The trout season runs from March 15th to September 20th. Grayling starts by late May and can be fished until the end of October. (Fall is a nice occasion to plan a mixed trip: Bordeaux vineyards during harvest followed by a fly fishing escapade in Dordogne). The tributaries of the Dordogne are excellent early starting streams for March or April. The Dordogne is a big river (sometimes 80 to 100 meters), tough and very wide. Wading pants with felt soles are required. Using a professional guide is a key to success, but we can tell you where to go to observe the local sportsmen, before fishing on your own. The tributaries of the Dordogne are excellent streams for March or April Landscapes Each town is a jewel. Valley are bordered by meadows and century old walnut orchards, surrounded by rocky wooded hills. Climate is dry and warm. At the end of the summer may appear the first cèpes mushrooms.
