The Penz\u00e9, the Queffleuth and its tributary, the Jarlot<\/strong> are the so-called rivers of the \u201cLand of Morlaix\u201d.\u00a0Theses modest streams all rise in the Monts d\u2019Arr\u00e9e, two of them (Penz\u00e9 & Queffleuth) in close proximity of my home.<\/p>\n The Penz\u00e9 (Penzez<\/em> in Breton) is the name of a little coastal stream of the L\u00e9on region<\/strong> in Finist\u00e8re. Its source is located at the foothills of the Roc’h Tr\u00e9dudon, in the Monts d’Arr\u00e9e, within the community of Ploun\u00e9our-M\u00e9nez. I very much love the Penz\u00e9, it is a pretty stream<\/strong> in close proximity of my home and a great place to show deserving customers who are enamored with pretty trout streams.\u00a0Its upper reaches, managed by the AAPPMA of the Elorn is also very pretty and \u201cchock-full\u201d of trout.<\/p>\n The Penz\u00e9 ranks among my favorites in Brittany <\/strong>and I\u2019m enthusiastic about showing it to my more experienced customers who would rather fish for bigger fish than for sheer numbers of trout.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][mk_divider style=”padding_space” divider_width=”full_width” custom_width=”10″ align=”center” thickness=”1″ margin_top=”20″ margin_bottom=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]From its source on the slopes of the Monts d’Arr\u00e9e to the canalized portion under the city of Morlaix, the Queffleuth is small coastal stream<\/strong> of some 20 kilometers in length. It sometimes flows through a narrow forested valley, is then interspersed with a maze of rocks and then suddenly meanders through pretty meadows, its width rarely exceeding 22 feet. All types of waters can be found here: mountain stream or deep, slow pools, the Queffleuth has it all and it is home to a nice population of brown trout<\/strong> with some specimen that push the 20-inch mark. It also has an occasional run of Atlantic salmon and sea trout.<\/p>\n The Jarlot is a little stream<\/strong> of about 20 km in length, rising in the southeast of Morlaix within the communities of Plougonven and Lann\u00e9anou, its main tributary being the Tromorgan. It joins with the Queffleuth in Morlaix, following a southeast-nortwest axis in a staircase-like profile with slower portions followed by steeper portions with faster waters, never exceeding 20 feet in width. Quite shallow, it is easy to fish wading but anglers will need short rods in lengths 7 to 8 feet. Having a somewhat later emergence of Danica mayflies<\/strong>, those can be quite spectacular at times.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.brittanyflyfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Peche-Riviere-Penze-Brittany-Fly-Fishing-2.jpg” image_width=”400″ image_height=”400″ crop=”true” svg=”false” lightbox=”true” group=”_general” frame_style=”rounded” target=”_self” caption_location=”inside-image” align=”left” margin_bottom=”10″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][mk_divider style=”padding_space” divider_width=”full_width” custom_width=”10″ align=”center” thickness=”1″ margin_top=”20″ margin_bottom=”20″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″]\n [vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″] The Penz\u00e9 & rivers of Morlaix [\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”80″ align=”left” border_color=”#005c67″ thickness=”1″ margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”20″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/www.brittanyflyfishing.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/Peche-Riviere-Penze-Brittany-Fly-Fishing-17.jpg” image_width=”400″ image_height=”600″ crop=”true” svg=”false” lightbox=”true” group=”_general” frame_style=”rounded” target=”_self” caption_location=”inside-image” align=”left” margin_bottom=”10″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”true” align=”left” margin_bottom=”0″] Caracteristics The Penz\u00e9, the Queffleuth and its tributary, the Jarlot are the so-called rivers of the \u201cLand of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2628","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
\nIts first few miles see it flowing to the west, through my hometown of Commana and it then continues towards Loc-Eguiner, then veers off to the north, passing through Guimiliau, Saint-Th\u00e9gonnec, Guiclan.
\nAt the community of Taul\u00e9<\/strong> (between Saint-Pol de L\u00e9on to the west and Morlaix in the east) it widens, forming an aber<\/em> or estuary near the village of Penz\u00e9, giving it its name. Its main tributary is the Coatoulz’ach<\/em> on its right hand side.
\nThe lower reaches of the Penz\u00e9<\/strong>, managed by the AAPPMA of Morlaix, harbors some very nice trout and a handful of sea trout. Its crystal clear waters with great weed beds in a lush green color (water starworts and ranunculus) are a feast for the eyes and fly fishing is particularly interesting right before the summer doldrums.<\/p>\nPenz\u00e9 & rivers of Morlaix\u00a0|\u00a0Photo gallery<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” divider_width=”custom_width” custom_width=”80″ align=”left” border_color=”#005c67″ thickness=”1″ margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”20″][mk_gallery images=”729,728,726,725,724,720,713,711″ style=”grid” column=”5″ image_size=”crop” height=”200″ hover_scenarios=”fadebox” item_spacing=”8″ margin_bottom=”20″ frame_style=”simple” disable_title=”false” image_quality=”1″ pagination=”false” count=”10″ pagination_style=”1″ order=”ASC” orderby=”date” item_id=”1424043308-54e12d2c7da79″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
