Fly Fishing on the Andelle
Fish & Flies
On the Andelle we fish a ten miles private stretch with a castle upstream and a 1.000 years old abbey downstream.On the Andelle is found only wild brown trout. The Average size is around 30cm. Good fish reach 45 cm, a real trophy fish would reach 55 or 60cm. The stretch is restricted to fly fishers only. It is a catch & release river where the use of barbless hooks is compulsory. Streamers are forbidden, nymphs are accepted, but the Norman chalk-streams tradition, hence on the Andelle is to fish dry flies on spotted rising fish. The typical fly would be an Adam's type # 14 or 16 or a brown caddis of the same size.

Season
The season runs from mid March to early October. The best months with important and varied hatches are May, June and early July. The period mid-April, mid-May is risky. Mid-July to late August can be quite good during the late moments of the evening. September is the end of the season with pretty good days to enjoy.

Fishing time
In the early season and in September we fish the middle of the day (presumably the warmest hours). During the months of May, June and early July, the best time is often the evening. You must be prepared to fish quite late like until 10.30 or 11.00pm.
