Highlights

Overview

Etang du château is a 60-acre lake, impressive not only in size but also in history; On the shore of the lake is the ruins of a 13th century castle and also a comfortable, 5-person cottage with a swimming pool! With regard to the angling, you will find almost 9 ton of carp with an average weight of above 30 lbs and a record of 68.3 lbs. The difficulty level is moderate, so you can expect many catches. This is an area that offers many possibilities, both for a rejuvenating stay in a dream setting and also a family holiday to enjoy the fishing and swimming pool (there is a meals option available)

Lake Map

Lake

With an area of 60 acres, and its elongated form, almost in the shape of a river, it allows fishing from a reasonable distance. Above all you will find many areas of water lily, an ideal refuge for carp. On the lake you will find 15 fishing swims, all located on the same bank and spaced out for optimum tranquility.

The depth varies very little, being about 1.8 metres for the most part, with some areas at 3 metres. The bottom is largely mud with some firmer areas. The castle bordering the lake is full of history and has suffered many destructions during the wars which have traversed French history; King Louis XI was known to have visited this castle. Today, the castle is in ruins but it represents all the richness of French heritage. Being able to fish carp with this castle as a backdrop is a real privilege.

Fish

The owners are fish farmers; the carp stock is closely monitored thanks in particular to regular netting. The fish are healthy. The average is a very satisfactory 30 + lbs and it's not uncommon to catch a 40 lb-er in a week-long session.

There are some beautifully sized Grass carp. All the fish are healthy and will give you some interesting battles. A good number of 50 lb-ers swim in the lake which may get you your new PB. Finally, we hope you can catch one of the monster carp greater than 60lbs and up to 68 lbs! You will have memorable moments to savour in this unusual setting
