The Watergang du Sud is a peaceful canal in the Pas-de-Calais department of northern France, offering excellent coarse fishing opportunities for carp, tench, bream, pike, and perch in its calm waters. This stretch, extending approximately 6 kilometers through the Hauts-de-France region, is well-suited to both day and night fishing, with the added flexibility of boat access and bivouac facilities for extended fishing trips. A valid Carte de Pêche (annual fishing licence obtained through the local AAPPMA) is required to fish these waters, and anglers can expect a rewarding experience targeting zander alongside traditional French canal species in a tranquil setting.
