The stork reservoir

> to the news of the month

the stork reservoir under the sun

Located at 50 km in the north of Strasbourg, in Seltz the stork reservoir is reserved for flyfishing. (see the very detailed map) Its pure water (it is the ground water of Alsace, the biggest of west Europe), the quality of his fishes, the convenient laying out, combine to bring this place on the top of the flyfishing areas in Alsace. The fishery, of 2.5 ha, is made up of 2 ponds. They go down to a depth of 10 meters. All flyfishing techniques are allowed (dry flies, nymphs, streamer, wet flies), with a maximum of 3 flies. Barbless hooks only.

The fish you will find in Seltz are mainly trouts: really big rainbow, brown and aguabonitas (the yellows), some chars, an other species like carps, tenchs, roachs, perchs, pikes (big ones). A nice pikeperch has been caught in 1999.

  • It exist a daily licence for 30 euros , that allows you to keep one trout of more than 30 cm
  • It exist also a daily licence for 15 euros ,that allows a yougman (under 18), to fish with no kill rules. The yougman must be accompained by an adult.

News for march 2024

The water level is high in the beginning of march. the trouts begin to come closer the shore. Beautiful emotions are always there.

Fish immersions: On 05 march 2024, 300 kg rainbow trouts with an average weight of 1,3 kg came in the reservoir .

Warning: I would like to remind everyone that trout + 2 kg are to be put back into the water, as much as possible, to allow the greatest number of fishermen to have “big emotions”.

NB: It is also reminded to all fishermen that fishing is allowed 1/2 hour before sunrise and ends 1/2 hour after sunset.

  1. Bonjour Claude,
    Savez-vous si l’association a prévu une immersion de truites prochainement ?
    Parce que les quelques survivantes de novembre commencent sérieusement à être vaccinées !
    Merci d’avance pour votre réponse
    À très bientôt au bord de l’eau
    Damien

    • bonjour Damien. Immersion prévue fin février ou tout début mars. Elle sera sur l’actualité du site, comme toujours, dès qu’elle sera finalisée. Cordialement.

    • Bonjour
      Merci pour votre réponse !
      Espérons que cette immersion aura lieu avant la fin de mes vacances, sinon il va falloir que je les prolonge 😁
      Bonne journée
      Damien

  2. Hi Claude. Nice page. Is the reservoir open? I am driving from Luxembourg and would like to stop here and a few places around as well. I really like wild rivers. Any ideas? Best
