About the species Eurasian beaver
About the species
A herbivore that changes the stream and its banks with dams and burrows. It is protected. It creates shallows and pools where fish and insects thrive.
Where to find it by the water
Rivers, streams and ponds with banks overgrown with willows and poplars. It is betrayed by gnawed trunks in a pencil shape, dams of branches and trodden paths to the water.
What this means for anglers
Dams can raise the water level and create new pools, while elsewhere the stream below them dries up. Beaver burrows in the banks can collapse, so step carefully on a bank with holes. Do not take apart dams and burrows; they are protected.
When it is observed
Records by month in the areas around the fishing districts (GBIF).
