Rocheservière Fishing Gear Flea Market

The Rocheservière fishing gear flea market

"Vide ta caisse à pêche" (Empty your fishing box) is a specialised flea market by the Rocheservière fishing association. 2026 edition: Saturday 7 February. February is strategic — the off-season for anglers to sort gear and refresh before the new season.

Original concept: second-hand fishing gear only. Rods of all types (coarse, carp, predator, fly), reels, lures, hooks, lines, specialist clothing, stretchers, baskets, accessories. A meeting of the initiated, full of technical tips.

Rocheservière, North-Vendée commune

Around 3,200 residents in North-Vendée on the Loire-Atlantique border, between Montaigu-Vendée and Legé. Crossed by the Boulogne — a first-category trout stream explaining the strong local fishing tradition and an active fishing association. Bocage, hills and streams.

What to find

• Rods (coarse, carp, predator, fly, spinning)
• Reels (many sizes and brands)
• Lures, flies, baits
• Hooks, weights, lines
• Fishing clothes and boots
• Stretchers, baskets, accessories
• Specialist magazines and books

A flea market for initiates

A concept worth praising: lets anglers circulate gear, initiate beginners affordably, refresh without breaking the bank. February is strategic — prepping for trout opening in March. Vendors and buyers are often passionate insiders; atmosphere friendly and technical.
