Associations
In order to maintain and strengthen links with local associations, the Haute-Marne Federation for Fishing and the Protection of the Aquatic Environment met with the AAPPMA. The meeting for the South of the department took place Friday, November 22, in Meuse.
After the first two AAPPMA meetings in the center and north of the department, which were held on November 8 and 15, the southern meeting was organized by the Approved Association for Fishing and Aquatic Environment Protection of Lénizeul. It took place Friday, November 22, in the Meuse conviviality room.
Seven AAPPMAs were present out of the thirteen in the southern district.
At the start of this meeting, a moment of contemplation was observed in memory of the missing fishermen, with a special thought for Mauro Putano Bisti, former president of the AAPPMA of Bourmont and administrator of the Federation and Daniel Piquée, coordinator and responsible for the federal daycare, South sector.
Michel Remond, president of the Federation, opened the session by specifying that the life of an AAPPMA can only rest on the president. He must be able to delegate so that his association is not cut off from all information. Thus disconnected, she is ignorant of the general policy pursued by the Federation.
Continuing his intervention, the president noted a slight drop of 4.59% in the sale of fishing licenses (minus 514 cards). For the coming year, an increase of €2 is on the horizon, i.e. €1 for the CPMA (Aquatic Fisheries Contribution) and €1 for the Federations, so that they respond to the increases inherent to their proper functioning .
The board of directors of the federation for fishing and the protection of the aquatic environment of Haute-Marne is only represented by eleven directors, following the death of the president of Bourmont. Following the general meeting, three administrators, the presidents of the AAPPMAs of Langres, Laferté-sur-Amance and Fresnes-sur-Apance, presented their resignations.
In 2024, there has been no change to the North East Reciprocal Union (One) which is still made up of 17 departments. Michel Rémond welcomed the fact that Haute-Marne is at the forefront regarding reciprocity at the scale of the Urne: “67 km of newly proposed banks will bring us, as in 2023, into the “Bonus” column at the level of the Urne (…) Which places us at the top of the 17 departments with an overall percentage of 98.86%; when the average is 75.43%. »
Regarding the development of fishing leisure activities, Maxence Lemoine and Nicolas Andréoli specified that the Haute-Marne Federation plays a leading role with competent and involved staff both in terms of technical approach, knowledge of waterways and of evolution of fish populations as well as from a fishing leisure development point of view.
For South Haute-Marne, major files are about to be finalized such as the extension of boat launches on the four lakes of the Langres region. The Federation will also carry a new initiative initiated by the National Federation for Fishing in France (FNPF). This is a national competition for young fishermen. Two rounds of the “lures” circuit are planned for May on the Chaumont canal and on Lac de la Mouche.
