General conditions of internship

Benefits – Services – Prices

The pricing includes what is necessary for your fishing course, namely: the fishing equipment (rod, reel, line), baits, flies or lure, the open boat equipped with electronics if necessary. The price doesn’t include fishing license, accommodation, meals, boots or waders. Transfers from the meeting place to fishing grounds by car or boat aren’t included in the pricing as they are free services. Any additional teaching hours may be charged in addition for a sum of 50 euros per person. If you wish, Mr. Ludovic Briet will provide you with a free structural address (houses, guest rooms, hotels, campsites) located near the fishing grounds. The fishing course begins with the arrival of the intern and ends eight hours later or before at the request of the trainee.

Mr. Ludovic Briet proposes on-demand and bespoke, all year round, fishing courses by day or on several days, on fishing weekends and services on specific fishing methods such as pike fishing with lures, perch in vertical method, trout and grayling with fly fishing in the river, whitefish and char in vertical chironome method on lake Geneva…

As these are sports practices in natural environments, the fishing methods taught remain very random. Depending on the level of the trainees, the climatic conditions and the nutrition of the fish, the catch of fish is absolutely not guaranteed, even if it remains one of the objectives of the courses disclosed during the day or the fishing course. The fishing days and courses are all carried out in “catch and release” to perpetuate the endemic species.

On boat, the wearing of the vest remains mandatory in travel and at a stop in his company.

Some fishes can bite and make a lot of damage wiht their teeth.
