Parcours mouche du château de Tonquédec
In the heart of the Léguer valley, a 1st category river classified as a migratory river, you can fish in a remarkable natural area, classified as Natura 2000 and awarded the Site Rivière Sauvage label.
This attractive 1.8 km course is located between the château de Tonquédec and the footbridge at the château de Kergrist in Ploubezre.
You'll find a reach downstream and 2 smaller reaches upstream, with plenty of trout stations.
Between 10 and 15 m wide, the river alternates between flowing and non-flowing zones, due to the presence of 2 former mill reaches, more or less in ruins. The river bed is rich in large boulders, offering numerous hiding places for fish, as well as gullies and pools for anglers. The shady banks are regularly maintained by the AAPPMA du Léguer, offering numerous fishing spots along the way.
