Le Saleys is a productive lowland river in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department of southwestern France, flowing through the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region and offering excellent opportunities for coarse fishing, particularly for carp, catfish, zander, and pike. This waterway is notably angler-friendly, permitting night fishing, boat access, and bivouac camping, making it ideal for extended fishing trips targeting larger species in its slower-moving stretches. A valid Carte de Pêche annual licence, obtainable through the local AAPPMA association, is mandatory to fish these waters.
