Reputed for its wild nature and its fishy ponds, the Dombes is a very much appreciated fishing territory.
A ” no kill ” fishing
Here, at the Domaine de la Dombes, we are in favour of the respect of the environment. It is the reason why fishing is in NO KILL. For those who don’t know the slang of fishing, it is the obligation to throw the fish back in the water. Get more information about this practice.
