Mercury Fishing Cup MFC III: The flagship event in carnivore boat fishing took place at Lac de Saint-Pardoux in 2026!

Initially scheduled to take place in Vassivière, the event was finally held in Saint-Pardoux due to unforeseen circumstances!

On 9 and 10 November 2025, the Haute-Viennois lake was the venue for the Mercury Fishing Cup MFC III, the French Championship for carnivore fishing by boat. 🎣

The 2026 edition is not planned in Haute-Vienne but in Corrèze at Bort les Orgues.

An exceptional setting for fishing

The Lac de Saint-Pardoux in the Haute-Vienne region of the Limousin offers 330 hectares of clear water in the heart of an undulating landscape. It’s a must-see for water sports enthusiasts… but also for fishing fans. 🎣

Renowned for the richness of its aquatic fauna, the lake is home to a fine population of carnivorous fish – pike, pike-perch, perch – which attract experienced anglers and beginners alike, all year round. The Limousin thus confirms its reputation as a fishing region, with lakes that are as generous as they are well developed. 🐟

Autumn, and particularly November, offers ideal conditions: predators are more active, promising spectacular catches and memorable days on the water.

A national competition

Organised jointly by the Fédération Française des Pêches Sportives (FFPS) and Mercury, the 2025 event promises to be spectacular.

Teams will battle it out on the waters of the lake for the coveted title of French Carnivore Boat Fishing Champions 2025 , awarded by the FFPS.

HOW TO FOLLOW THE MERCURY FISHING CUP III?

An XXL broadcasting system is planned for the event: several hours of live coverage will allow you to follow the competition as if you were there. On-board cameras on some of the boats will provide immersive footage, complemented by a TV set, fixed cameras and an on-site control room. Consultants and guests will provide commentary in real time.

👉 The lives will be accessible on the Mercury and FFPS CarnassierYouTube channels, as well as on their Facebook pages.

This exceptional media coverage will showcase both fishing and the natural assets of the Limousin region.
