River Lot Special

River Lot
The Lot is a rain-fed river that originates in the Massif Central. From there, the river meanders westward, eventually flowing into the Garonne. Between its source and confluence, you’ll encounter the most beautiful spots, such as the department capital Cahors and the lesser-known charming town of Cajarc. However, the most beautiful places are Saint Cirq Lapopie and Puy l’Eveque, both considered among the most beautiful places in France. I think it’s a perfect backdrop for a great man-fish photo. If you prefer to be even further from civilization, the Lot is truly a paradise. There are plenty of places where no one ever comes and nature still takes its own course. Lot of Carp is located in Albas, a village in the heart of the most beautiful part of the Lot. In nearby villages Prayssac, Puy L’Eveque, and Luzech, everything is available: supermarkets, gas stations, good bakeries, and of course, big carp! We typically rent our boats between Cahors and Fumel. Another dam section can be chosen in consultation. You can park your car with us.

Dutch Fishing Guide
Joachim Stelma is a Dutch fishing guide on one of France’s most famous rivers, the Lot. For years, he has spent at least ten weeks a year in France to catch carp.
He has been coming to the Lot for years. He knows almost every path leading to the river. It’s a hobby within a hobby for him. He wants to know everything, he investigates everything. This has led to extensive knowledge about the river. Think of water levels/currents, fishing techniques (per season), and especially the carp stock per weir section.

Fishing Techniques
River fishing, especially on the Lot, is completely different from lake fishing. It takes quite a bit of knowledge and experience to fish in the various conditions. There are many obstacles and the water can suddenly start flowing fast. There is a huge amount of carp on the Lot, but to catch them, you definitely have to put in a good effort.

Carp Fishing on the Lot
Current The Lot is quite fickle. Even in summer, after weeks without rain, the current can suddenly become very strong. When is the best time? There’s no single answer to this. Every period has its charms, and good catches can be made in any season! The current is weakest around summer. Spring weather is often more variable. Autumn is very stable: it’s very pleasant right up until November!

Weir Sections
Not all weir sections are the same; they differ in length, depth, bottom type, vegetation, and the quantity and size of the carp that inhabit them. Some sections primarily host elongated common carp. In other sections, large mirror carp are in the majority. There are also sections that have a combination of both. This will be discussed before arrival so you have the best chance of finding exactly what you’re looking for.
