After a week of June rain, the rivers are full and silty. The fish are not biting in the lakes and very few fish are even visible in the rivers. The sun was out so I took some shots of the Selle and Evoissons river. The image on the right show some clear water in the shallows.
The Evoissons joins the Selle at Conty. In this photo (left), the Selle is on the left and the slower flowing Evoissons joins on the right.
(right) The little footbridge that allows us to cross the Selle to the left bank of the Evoissons. Some good fly fishing spots with plenty of space to cast.
(left) Walking up the Evoissons a little, we come to some shallow runs where the local cross-country carriage racing courses ford the river. Plenty of wildlife visible. Birds, water rats and frogs.

(right) One of the lakes of the Conty system called Les Etournelles that is not fished and therefore has plenty of wild fish. Crystal clear water, perhaps 10 pairs of swan and fish everywhere. Here some fry are swimming around in the safety of the weed.
One of the lake swans. What a life!
