Aurignac. For the last competition, the fishermen were spoiled

For its last fishing competition organized at the dike of Boussan on Saturday July 9, the Aurignac fishing association had dumped no less than 600 trout the day before, at different places in La Louge, in order to empty the basins of the fish farm of Montoulieu. Indeed, the heat, even the heat wave, and therefore the reduced supply of spring water, risked harming the fish, or even being fatal to them. There are therefore around thirty fishermen, including seven children, who were lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time and in particular Léa, 11, French judo champion 2022 in the under 36 kg category, who, accompanied by her grandpa, also seemed to be very comfortable throwing corks and hooking fish! Didier, the fishing warden, regretted that the outing with the schools organized every year by the fishing association during its Atelier Pêche Nature (APN) could not take place because of the Covid which several children were carrying at this time. that time. Michel Lacroix, the president, announces that this year, the end-of-season meal and the traditional award ceremony for the most assiduous fishermen cannot be organized (the year 2022 having been particularly disrupted) and gives an appointment to the fishermen next year.
