This route covers 1,200 metres of the banks of the Gijou. We have chosen the two most easily accessible sections, which are particularly well suited to family fishing.
A Category 1 fishing stretch on the Gijou, 400 metres upstream
of the Vabre municipal swimming pool:
Access: from Vabre, head towards Lacaune-les-Bains.
After 400 metres, park upstream of the fish farm.
There are two options:
- 400 metres along the left bank downstream of the Chaussée du Ga
- and 800 metres along the right bank.
Species present:
trout, gudgeon, minnow, and ‘signal’ crayfish found in high
numbers – a great opportunity to try them
Places to explore
■ On the Gijou:
- At the Rocalet dam, the Gijou water intake leading to the Luzières dam
- Pont Vieux canal (with a former water intake used by dyers at the turn of the century)
- Ga canal (ford) water intake
- La Payssière canal, which supplies the Mialet fish farm (Berlou fish farm)
- Bousquet canal, disused but maintained.
- Aqueduct upstream of Le Bousquet, used for irrigation.
- First aqueduct upstream of the Pont de la Mouline, disused but maintained.
- Second aqueduct upstream of La Mouline, disused but maintained for fishing, as well as the river aqueduct and the two Courrégé aqueducts
