PARCOURS PÊCHE A LA MOUCHE DES TOYÈRES

This course is reserved for fly fishing in the heart of the Alpes Mancelles, on the river Sarthe, on the border of the Sarthe and Mayenne departments, in the commune of Saint Pierre des Nids on the Mayenne side, and in the commune of Saint Léonard des Bois on the Sarthe side.

The 600-metre-long river is rich in fishing spots and is ideal for dry fly, sinking fly, nymph, spinning or streamer fishing. Although brown trout still frequent the site, rainbow trout are regularly released to ensure an optimum density of fighting fish.

All anglers must hold a valid fishing licence and fill in the catch form after each trip, even if they come up empty.

Access from upstream: From Saint Pierre des Nids, head towards Saint Cénéri le Gérei on the RD 144. Drive for around 3.5 km then leave the vehicle at the entrance to the Moulin de Trotté road. Walk in the direction of the gîte d'étape. The specific fly course is located 1 km downstream but you can fish from the stopover gite. The section between the Moulin de Trotté and the upstream limit of the course is not specific to fly fishing.

Access on the Sarthe side is only possible via the hamlet of La Pair from Saint Léonard des Bois. Take the first left after the hamlet of La Paire. Walk down the track. The access to the course is at the end of the path.
