Parcours mouche du château de Tonquédec

In the heart of the Léguer Valley, a first-class migratory river, you can fish in a remarkable natural area, classified as Natura 2000 and labelled a Wild River Site.
This beautiful 1.8 km stretch is located between Tonquédec Castle and the footbridge at Kergrist Castle in Ploubezre.
There is one reach downstream and two small reaches upstream, with numerous trout spots.

Between 10 and 15 metres wide, the river alternates between fast-flowing and slow-flowing areas, linked to the presence of two old mill reaches, now more or less in ruins. The river bed is rich in large boulders, providing numerous hiding places for fish and chutes and pools for anglers. The shaded banks are regularly maintained by the Léguer AAPPMA (Association Agréée de Pêche et de Protection du Milieu Aquatique), offering numerous fishing spots along the entire course.


Specific regulations apply:
- Fishing only with line < 20/100th
- All trout must be released immediately
- Use of a landing net is mandatory
- Fly fishing with artificial flies only
- Barbless hooks or crushed barbs

There is only one bridge providing access to the banks, downstream to upstream:
- Maho Bridge, below Tonquédec Castle
10/15 parking spaces.

In 2025, following the national moratorium, fishing for migratory species (Atlantic salmon and sea trout) will be completely prohibited in rivers, estuaries and the sea, including catch and release.
