About this water

Breton granite spate river flowing through the Landerneau valley into the Rade de Brest. Carries Atlantic salmon and sea trout runs; part of the granitic Armorican river family alongside the Aulne and Éllez. The character is Brittany granite: peaty-tinged, responsive to rain, short but functional for migratory fish when levels are right.
