You might get some help from some of the guys on here but I would advise your friend to find the nearest venue and go and have a word with the owners, make new friends.

Firstly the owner needs to speak French as getting anything granted in terms of permission entails asking the local Mayor - who wont entertain any non French speakers, so I'm told.

 

You could speak to the people at Fisheries.co.uk who are specialists in the area.

The first step is to find out from the notaire whether the lake has 'closed water' status or not. If not, then fishing licenses will be required for all anglers.

Also you need to find out if night fishing is allowed.

That comes with closed water status
