The Chenal de Brouage is a scenic canal in Charente-Maritime offering diverse freshwater fishing opportunities for carp, tench, bream, pike, perch, and zander across its winding stretch through Nouvelle-Aquitaine. Anglers benefit from the flexibility of night fishing and can enjoy extended trips thanks to the allowance of boats and bivouac camping facilities along the canal. A valid Carte de Peche annual licence from the local AAPPMA is required to fish these waters, which are particularly rewarding for both coarse and predatory species throughout the seasons.
