La Basse Selle is a productive lowland river in the Somme department of Hauts-de-France, flowing through characteristic northern French countryside and offering excellent opportunities for coarse fishing with strong populations of roach, bream, pike, and carp. Anglers will appreciate the flexible regulations allowing night fishing, boat access, and bivouac camping, making extended fishing trips feasible along this 30+ km stretch. A valid Carte de Pêche issued by the local AAPPMA is required to fish these waters, and the river's sluggish character and abundant aquatic vegetation make it particularly productive during spring and autumn months.
