Ces participants, gathered on the course of the Eure, in front of the Maison des Pêcheurs, were divided into two categories: competitors (members of the Gardonnette) and non-competitors (non-licensed) and were judged according to the total weight of the fish caught.
Dominique Dupin, in charge of the competition section of La Gardonnette, explains: “This is an activity that we have been offering for years in collaboration with the city to celebrate the National Day in our own way and to get together with fishermen. »
