La Semène à Saint Didier en Velay, Haute-Loire, France.

Hmm, it’s got that holiday feeling — and indeed, many fly fishermen choose the months of May and June to pack up and head out, rod in hand, to the riverbanks where the hatches (when you don’t get a bloody “cold drop” dumped on your head) drive the fish absolutely wild! We’re just like you! As soon as the nice weather hits, the gear is within arm’s reach, ready to be tossed in the boot of the old banger, and we’re off to the river, pedal to the metal! Today, we’re heading to Haute-Loire, and more specifically Saint-Didier-en-Velay, on the Sémène — or rather, on the catch-and-release stretch of the Sémène!


The locals are going to hate us — “who are all these tourists showing up!” — and you, you’re going to thank us!
