River Tardoire
This pretty little brook starts about 10 kilometres from
Champagnac-La-Riviere outside Chalus. It continues to wind
its way through the Haute -Vienne/Charente/Dordogne before
vanishing again underground in the Dordogne.
There are various bridges that cross the river throughout
the region allowing the angler access to the water.
We
have discovered some rather "fishy" stretches
just into the Dordogne near Montbron. Local clubs stock
the river early season with trout from Chalus downstream.
As
this is a category 1 water, it is only open to anglers between
the second Saturday in March and mid September. As can be
seen by the photos, the river can be difficult to access
with a fly rod.
