FishingMayenne is a fisherman's paradise. The beautiful river from which the department takes its name offers hundreds of first-class fishing locations, and sign-posted areas -' Mayenne Peche' - indicate prime fishing spots with accessible parking, as well as picnic areas. Catch pike-perch, trout and pike along the River Mayenne, but make sure you have your fishing licence handy (unless fishing on a privately-owned river or lake). Licences are usually obtainable at the local tabac or fishing-tackle shop.
