"Nature and Fishing" to Botteaux ponds.

Center "Nature and Fishing" has just opened on the site ponds Botteaux, exit Angervilliers, along the D132, the road to the Marais.This space fishing over 6 acres, formerly known locally as the "merry Gaul," thus takes the service.He has three beautiful ponds 'cascade', partially buried in the woods. The opportunity for an encounter with nature!
Fish and courses for children.
ACTIPECHE which manages the site will offer a sport fishing called "no kill" (the fish is put back into the water after taking). All the fun of fishing, a kind of Don Juan of the whip * is here to conquer! We use barbless hooks, so as not to damage the fish too.
The first two ponds are mainly devoted to carp fishing in the coup, the third to the fishing lure of black bass (a carnivorous rarely present in our region that looks like a big boom), or to carp fishing in battery (using three rods laid with detector). We also caught white fish (roach, carnassins, tench, white-loves a variety of carp vegetarian!).

Carp fishing on the second pond.
You can fish from the edge, or rent a boat or a float tube, a sort of large buoy that is moved through previously strung palms.
Advantages of such a center: you can fish all year round without a permit, because this is private property.The center opens at 8 am and closes at 20:30.
Actipêche also offers courses for children, on weekends and during school holidays: they are initiated in a very individualized, small group of 4 preferably to various fishing techniques: the coup, pole simple, " the English "etc. ..." I prefer the quality of the course "Ludovic former applies, the manager.
A young manager passionate and knowledgeable.
Ludovic Chaber ACTIPECHE founded a year ago, after renting the site to the nearby brickyard. The ponds are in fact former points of impact of 120 years ago in search of clay, fed by an aquifer.
This young manager 27 years has always loved nature and fishing, which determined his career. Having "dabbled" a BTS aquaculture, he said he preferred fishing to farming. After a strict selection, it may serve a period of nine months to the National House of Water and the fishing of Ornans in the Doubs, where he received a degree from a fishing guide. He then launches into animations "fishing and nature", eg for camping Utopia Rambouillet. But his dream is to open a fishing center. "I was looking for a while a site with ponds, I passed it once or twice by accident, and I knew he was available," he says.
Her dream came true. But it's a living!
So we must organize and make themselves known. That's his mom, Ghislaine Hubert, which ensures its communication. A family affair!

Ludovic, a young manager 27 years, fishing guide graduate.
A well prepared site.
It's been a year since Ludovic rented the site to create this fishing center. A year he has been busy because it took a great job in cleaning the land and restoration of ponds!
And then it was necessary to "rempoissonner": 800 and 450 kg of carp were introduced in the first two ponds to supplement the existing herd. "We now have a ton of carp per hectare," he says. In the third pond, already rich "black bass", which is rare in the Ile-de-France, it has added 25 kg. He also presented a few "white fish".
His specimens come from a large fish farm in Sologne, which runs on 1,000 hectares of water bodies.
In fact, the site is unofficially open for a month. For now, fans come to test it. The official opening is early May.
The biggest catch so far in the site: a carp of 11 pounds.
Fear of Ludovic: poaching. There have been problems. But living nearby, he makes regular rounds. And the police come to assure him they would make sure the grain.
We wish him good luck anyway!
