AAPPMA UPR

The Union des Pêcheurs Ruthénois (AAPPMA UPR) is a French association for fishing and the protection of aquatic environments, serving anglers across 79 communes in Aveyron. Based in Rodez, it supports local fishing while promoting care for rivers, lakes and other aquatic habitats. The association provides practical information for anglers, including the 2026 fishing regulations, fishing locations, reserves and details about several local lakes and fishing waters. It also offers guidance on harmful and invasive species and ways to report pollution.

Through its Ateliers Pêche et Nature, the association provides fishing and nature activities, and it invites people to join, volunteer or support its work through donations and sponsorship. Volunteer fishing wardens patrol the association’s rivers and lakes throughout the year, with updates on their activity available to the public. The UPR shares news, meeting reports, events and fishing updates, including through Facebook. Its website also features an interactive map of fishing spots, an agenda and information on getting a fishing permit.
