Catch And Release Catfish Fishing Along The Seine In Paris

An angler prepares a European catfish (Silurus glanis), a large catch from the Seine River in Paris, France, on June 6, 2026, to release the fish back into the water. Fishing along the riverbanks is a popular pastime in Paris. Improved water quality has helped preserve dozens of fish species, and many anglers practice ''catch and release'' to protect fish populations and preserve the urban river's ecosystem.
