Fishing
Dear fisherman, Saint-Martin la Méanne is ideally situated at the heart of a unique fishing area. The Corrèze fishing potential, one of the richest in France, will allow you to practice all fishing techniques and will delight everyone.
The Doustre is 3 km away and the Dordogne 5 km from here.
For predator fishing (pike, zander more particularly), the Chastang dam lake is of utmost interest.
For trout fishing, the Doustre provides all the conditions that are needed.
For fly fishing, the Dordogne below the Sablier Dam is highly recommended.
Little extra: a private fishing pond (within a 100 meters) is at your disposal to catch bait fish before the evening fishing party!
Fishing licenses (weekly, for a fortnight or yearly) are available in situ at any moment.
You can rent a boat (6 hp, no license needed) on the spot. On request.
