La Tortonne is a charming Norman river in Calvados offering excellent opportunities for brown trout and sea trout fishing across its 13-kilometer stretch, with the added appeal of night fishing for those targeting eels and chub in its productive waters. The river's accessibility to boats and bivouac camping makes it ideal for extended fishing trips, allowing anglers to explore diverse habitats from its source near Tourville-sur-Odon down to its confluence. A Carte de Peche annual licence, obtainable through the local AAPPMA, is required to fish this waterway, which is valued by both fly fishers and traditional anglers seeking an authentic Normandy river experience.
