Le Tusson is a productive coarse fishing river in the Sarthe department of Pays de la Loire, flowing through a scenic stretch where anglers can expect excellent opportunities for carp, catfish, zander, pike, and bream in a relatively undisturbed environment. The river's accessibility to overnight fishing and camping makes it ideal for dedicated anglers seeking extended sessions, while its healthy perch populations offer consistent action for those using smaller baits and lures. A Carte de Pêche (annual licence obtainable through the local AAPPMA) is required to fish these waters, with boats permitted for exploring the full potential of this well-stocked waterway.
