Le Lay is a coastal river in Vendée, Pays de la Loire, offering diverse fishing opportunities for both freshwater and brackish-water species including sea trout, brown trout, bass, and mullet across its lower stretch. Anglers can enjoy night fishing and are permitted to use boats and camp along the river, making it ideal for extended fishing expeditions in this scenic Atlantic-influenced waterway. A Carte de Pêche (annual fishing licence) obtained through your local AAPPMA is required to fish these waters, which are particularly productive during tidal movements that attract sea trout and flounder into the river system.
