Overview

You know the moment you enter the property that Carpinvasion is no ordinary destination. Coming over the bridge and entering into this small fortress, everything will show you that you are on a lake exclusively for the privileged few.

Situated in Normandy, this oval, 2-acre lake is bordered by a river and is totally secured, with a comfortable gite just a few metres from the lake’s edge. All comforts are well thought-out; above all, the angling conditions are exceptional, all posts well set up--even with electricity and wi-fi at each one!

For the fish, what can we say? There are over 100 carp in this lake with an average of 35 lbs, and a current record of 55 lbs. You can well understand that for a lake of this size it’s rare to find a perfect blend of comfort, big carp and a superb ambience.

Lake

This 2-acre lake has been completely re-dug to provide several different and interesting angling spots with a maximum depth of 3.5 m. The bottom is mostly gravel with some areas a little muddier. It is completely tree-surrounded, giving a really wild yet idyllic feel. The perfectly arranged post allow angling of the entire lake. 4 swims are on the same bank, with one right opposite the gite. This post not only allows angling for two or three people but also to prospect the whole lake. You’ll have understood that with superbly organised and equipped posts, one of which is right next to the house, this is almost perfection in terms of angling comfort.

Fish

100+ carp populate this lake with a high average weight of 35 lbs and a record of 55 lbs. Your chances of catches over 40 lbs are, therefore, higher than usual.

There’s a majority of Mirrors here but also some big Commons. N.B. there are some rare fish in here, too; 3 Ghost, one of which weighs in at over 51 lbs and is nicknamed Casper, who will amaze you with its colours, and a 100+ lb albino catfish.

It is really unusual to find a concentration of stunning and rare fish in a lake of this size. Angling difficulty is rated medium; it’s not a runs water, but when the lake is ‘ON’, the catches can come fast and furious! So will your chances to beat your PB.

Description

There’s a luxurious, air-conditioned, 3-bedroomed bungalow just a few metres from the lake, and your rods. The bungalow also comprises a large living room with open kitchen with TV and a large settee for relaxation, a large, covered patio with table and chairs but above all, a direct view of your rods.

Everything is here for a really enjoyable holiday (washing machine, microwave, double oven, hob and American-style fridge) as well as a large bathroom with shower. The lodge can easily accommodate a big family; two of the bedrooms have twin beds and one has a double.

All the bedrooms are supplied with Sky TV (including sporting films and kids’ channels) and a DVD player. Wi-Fi is available in the house as well as at each fishing post. Save space in your car knowing that all necessary materials are here to be rented, along with a bait-boat. Don’t stress about bait, either, everything you could wish for is here.

Local area :

The Carpinvasion lake is in Normandy, quite near the famous Landing Beaches, which inspired its name. Cherbourg is not far, either, (+/- 30 minutes) with many tourist attractions, notably the Cité de la Mer (Titanic Museum, aquarium, first French nuclear (decommissioned) submarine and a virtual submarine visit, snack bar and restaurant). Normandy is also famous for Mont Saint Michel, one of the most visited monuments in France (sibling to Saint Michael’s Mount in Cornwall). There are local shops within 5 minutes by car, plus a large supermarket and restaurants.
