I recently came to fish the region of Navarrenx for trout. While getting my license,I was told I could also fish for salmon and I took this license too.
2 days later, I was ASTONISHED to learn that the local Electricity company decided to pollute the river,on purpose,to keep its turbines running. It seems this is a yearly event. Why not remove the silt by truck instead of flushing it down the river and polluting the river and increasing survival chances for Salmon. Do you care so little for your salmon??
It seems bizarre to me that most of the world is fighting hard to save migratory salmon while the region of the Gave D’Oloron seems to care little for this special heritage they have.
You also donot seem to care if tourist from outside France, who donot know about this
intentional pollution practise,pay money for licenses that then they cannot use.

I will now tell my friends that fishing for trout in the region is beautiful but donot fish for salmon because it is a waste of money and soon there will be no more salmon anyway.
