Overview

Just 45 minutes to the South of Paris, Fontenay is a former quarry, being worked till 1982. It was bought over in 2004 and the site used for carp fishing until 2012 under the name Lake of Isles. It saw many glory days, largely thanks to the excellent carp stock of an average weight of more than 44lbs. Owing to management issues, it was left half-abandoned until bought over again in 2015 by a team of impassioned anglers; well-thought out re-stocking plans were realised in order to offer the best possible fishing in a wild, natural setting.  Today, Fontenay is one of the best-known domains in France with a remarkable carp stock of fish over 40lbs average weight.

 

The 50-acre lake is made up of 2 parts, linked by a strait; angling from here is forbidden! You may rent exclusively, either Fontenay South or Fontenay North. Obviously, the carp swim freely around the whole of the lake, there being no physical barrier. On the other hand, each part benefits from private facilities.

 

Fontenay North has 22 acres of water area with 9 swims and can accommodate up to 9 anglers. You may rent just a swim without exclusivity, or the whole lake exclusively for up to 20 anglers.

  • Bait Boat allowed
  • Dogs allowed

Lake

The 50-acre lake is made up of 2 parts, linked by a strait; angling from here is forbidden! The south side (Fontenay South) is 22 acres in area (max 9 anglers). You may rent either side exclusively or simply rent 1 swim without exclusivity. Obviously, the carp swim freely around the whole of the lake, there being no physical barrier.

Fontenay North is the part having a more varied depth, the maximum being down to 4 metres which makes this much more interesting for the angler. The bottom is mostly hard, i.e. gravel with some parts mud. All swims are excellent quality, very comfortable for anglers, and accessible by car. Some have electricity provided.

Fish

More than 1000 carp make up the population of Fontenay, being around 20 carp per acre, a good quantity, and also quality fish. With rare fish such as Ghost Carp, Koi, Royal Carp, fully scaled carp, and bicoloured, you can only be amazed with your angling experience. The stock is varied and achieves an average catch weight of over 30lbs, with the record standing at 71lbs.

There’s every chance of catching 40lbs+ carp, particularly the magnificent Common; not forgetting the catfish up to 2m 30 cm and impressive sturgeon up to 160lbs. If beating your PB is your goal, Fontenay offers one of the best chances.
