They took the fishing rod out of the closet. Cote-d’oriens fishermen went out on the banks of the rivers, this Saturday, March 13, 2021, for theopening of trout fishing. It should last until September 19. Some found themselves just behind the Ouche canal, behind the old Amora factory in Dijon (Côte-d’Or). Among them there is Patrice who is happy to be able to fish again : “we are all impatiently waiting for this, the opening of trout fishing is sacred for fishermen. Especially after the confinement we experienced at the start of the year“, smiles the sixty-year-old.
And it took a bite out of the recovery. Shortly after 8 o’clock, the fisherman’s line tightened, a fish bit the hook. It’s his first of the day. He should only fish 6, this is the regulatory limit per day.
They wanted to find the friends and the snack
Everyone was eager to be able to fish again and “to find friends“, Patrice confides. Same words and same will for Adrien, in his twenties, the youngest of the gang. He has just fished his second trout of the day, the second since 6.30 a.m., when he unpacked his equipment.
For him, the important thing is necessarily to fish but also to take “a good breath of fresh air, says Adrien, but also to make a snack. It’s a good tradition. We eat a little cold meats, we drink a little glass and then we are all happy.“Also known because there are more trout in the Dijon rivers. The Dijon Fishermen’s Union has some. dropped more than a ton instead of nearly 600 kilos typically.
