Highlights

Overview

Barely 3 hours from Calais, near the Champagne vineyards of the Marne department, this stunning, former gravel quarry occupies 6 acres. You will find 3, very well-equipped swims in truly exotic surroundings, one of which is a floating chalet with all comforts (maximum of 4 anglers).

The carp stock is of the highest quality owing to the fact that the domain's owner is a fish-farmer. The biggest carp is a 51 lbs mirror from a spectacular stock (grass carp, silver carp, koi & commons). You will have some of the most rewarding (even emotional) moments, holding such magnificent fish and watching their colours sparkle in the sunset.

Lake

This 6-acre quarry in calm and beautiful countryside comprises 3 swims :

• Swim 1: 2 anglers with 3 rods each; this is the shallowest part of the lake (1.2m in high season). However, there are many submerged trees here and the carp love to swim among them even with the limited depth of water. This swim has a wooden pontoon.

• Swim 2: perfect for a single angler. From here, you can fish the stone-bottomed depths as well as the edges and middle of the lake.

• Swim 3: the floating chalet is situated in the middle of the lake and can accommodate 2 anglers plus 1 or 2 non-anglers. There’s 26m2 of living space and a 16m2 terrace/patio. A boat is at your disposal for reaching the chalet as well as for setting your lines. There’s a pontoon on the bank for you to stow your equipment safely into and off the boat. Life-jackets are supplied, found in the chalet.
The chalet located in the middle of the water allows both open-water fishing (depth between 1m and 2m50) and on the lake- edge. There are water lilies in the recess on the right, the fish are ‘hide’ there all year round.

Fish

The stock is exceptional : you will be convinced just by checking the photos. There are many unknown fish to be discovered, too. The owner has augmented the stock with 150 fish, of 22lb minimum weight, since he took over the lake. Mirror Carp make up the majority and there are 5 Silver carp of 55 - 110 lbs. You might just be surprised by one and make your day!
