Mercury Fishing Cup MFC II at Lac de Vassivière

Mercury Fishing Cup MFC II: The flagship fishing event at Lac de Vassivière in Haute-Vienne, France

The Limousin is set to host the biggest freshwater fishing event of the year in France!

On October 19 and 20, 2024, the prestigious Lac de Vassivière in Haute-Vienne will be the setting for the Mercury Fishing Cup MFC II, the French Championship for carnassial boat fishing. 🎣

An exceptional setting for fishing

The jewel of the Limousin, the Lac de Vassivière in Haute-Vienne stretches over almost 1000 hectares, offering exceptional boating and fishing.

This renowned site is home to an impressive population of carnivorous fish: pike, pike-perch and perch, which delight fishing enthusiasts all year round, because the Limousin is indeed a land of fishing. 🐟

In October, a particularly propitious period, these species are active, promising ideal conditions for competition.

This major event confirms Limousin’s position as France’s premier fishing destination, highlighting the richness of its bodies of water and the quality of its infrastructure dedicated to the sport.
