Planetary Palate

by ChenWanxiang 25 Nov 2025

You know, whether you're just dipping your toes into fly fishing or you've been at it for years, I'd love to share what I've picked up along the way—especially here in Aveyron and Lozère. There’s something about these places—the way the light hits the water in the Lot valley near Espalion, the quiet hum of the rivers—that just pulls you in. And trust me, we’ll have a blast doing it.


I’ve lost count of the spots I’ve fished around here, but each one’s got its own quirks. Some stretches are lazy and slow, others practically sprint over the rocks, and the truites fario? Absolute stunners. Doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or a seasoned hand—I’ll get you onto water where the fish practically beg to be caught.


When we’re out there, we’ll play it by ear. Dry flies one day, nymphing the next—whatever the river’s in the mood for. And yeah, we’ll talk about reading the water, because honestly, that’s half the battle. There’s this one bend near Espalion where the trout stack up under the overhangs like they’re waiting in line. No idea why, but it’s magic when you figure it out.


Bring your friends, too. Fishing’s better with company, and I’ve got a list of post-catch spots—pubs with the kind of charcuterie boards that’ll make you forget how many flies you lost. Need tips on where to stay or what else to see? Just ask. I’ve been around long enough to know which villages are worth the detour.


Oh, and if you’re after brown trout, grayling, or rainbows? That’s my bread and butter. There’s nothing like the way a grayling fights the current—feels like it’s got something to prove.


Anyway, drop me a line. I’ll even spill my favorite fly-tying trick if you’re nice about it.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
