Lot of Carp – Rules and general information

Rules

Rules

The river Lot is a public fishing water. A permit is therefore mandatory. This is for example for sale at the "Bar et tabac", Gamm Vert and fishing tackle shops such as Quercy Pêche in Cahors. A permit can also be ordered online. If you are in possession of the correct license, you may fish with four rods per person. However, to keep your fishing sharp we recommend four to a maximum of five rods per boat.

Order permit online

You can purchase a permit via www.cartedepeche.fr and print it out. The website is available in English. You must first create an account and upload a photo. Then you choose what kind of permit you want. A holiday permit is valid for seven days and costs € 32. Select Prayssac at "association". The rest is self-explanatory. If you cannot find an answer, please contact us.

Sail during the day

It is only allowed to sail in daylight on the Lot. Sailing in the dark is dangerous and you risk a (hefty) fine. With the dinghy you can go out on the water at night to drill and to sail.

Mooring

You may spend the night on the boat if you moor the boat on the shore. Make sure not to interfere with other boats.

Night fishing

Night fishing is allowed on the Lot (with the exception of some areas such as Pradines - Douelle). Please note that the use of a boat (as on many other waters) is prohibited at night. The boat must therefore be attached to the over, otherwise it is seen as sailing. If you moor the boat on the shore, you are allowed to fish at night.

Break lines / line clips

Tensioning fishing lines above the water surface is not permitted during daylight. At night, yes.

Use of storage bag

Using a storage bag is not allowed. Caught fish must be released immediately.

Other fishermen

The Lot is popular with fishermen. Please take each other into account so that everyone can continue to enjoy our fantastic hobby.
We ask you to respect and comply with the rules. Lot of Carp is not liable for any violation of the rules.
