Feel like catching fish ? It's an easy recreational activity if you are at the Moulin de serre, whether you are an experienced fisher or a beginner. Trout fishing? La Burande, ranked 1st category runs along the campsite, three more rivers are within a 5-km radius: the Dordogne, the Chavanon and the Mortagne.

Pikes, zanders abound in the lake of Bort-les-Orgues listed in the 2nd category. These fish are also plentiful in the lake called Pont d’Arpiat, 2 km away from the campsite. This fishing spot is well known among fishers of Puy-de-Dôme and Corrèze; it is, in fact, where the Burande and the Dordogne join. If you are fishing with a boat instead, there is a boat launch at the Pont d’Arpiat Lake.

Children can catch many other sorts of freshwater game fish: perch, chub, rudd. Other fishing spots are: Béal des Roziers at Savennes (16 km away from the campsite, near the Chavanon gorges) and the lake of La Crégut (35 km south-east).
