Book your hotel in Figeac to enjoy the best fishing spots.
Classified as a second-category river, the Lot offers some excellent fishing areas around Figeac, notably Capdenac-Gare, the quays of Figeac, and towards Cajarc.
These areas, alternating between riffles, pools, and calm banks, are particularly popular for pike, zander, carp, and catfish.
Downstream from Figeac, the more peaceful sections lie near the developed banks and meanders.
They are ideal for coarse fishing, with a good presence of gudgeon, barbel, chub, and dace, all set against a backdrop of limestone cliffs and charming villages.
More secluded, the Célé appeals to anglers seeking tranquility. Upstream from Figeac, this first-category river offers superb stretches for the trout season opening.
The clear waters are home to beautiful wild brown trout in a protected environment where nature reigns supreme.
Downstream, the river becomes a second-category river and offers varied, accessible, and very pleasant fishing spots.
For those who enjoy finesse fishing, head to the small streams of the Ségala: Veyre, Bervezou, or Burlande.
These steep-sided streams, sometimes challenging, are ideal for targeting trout in a wild and secluded setting. Catch-and-release sections are also available in Linac and Orniac.
For relaxing moments accessible to all, choose the ponds of Lake Tolerme, Lake Leyme, Lake Guirande in Felzins, or the Assier pond.
These sites are perfect for family fishing trips, with a large population of coarse fish.
In Figeac itself, the discovery trail along the banks of the Célé River, from the Laporte Mill to the Merlançon Mill, offers a gentle introduction to fishing in a safe and pleasant environment.
Ideally located in the heart of Figeac, our three-star hotel, Le Pont d’Or, welcomes you year-round.
We offer picnic baskets for a delicious lunch break between fishing trips!
