Lake
Each of the lakes can accommodate 4 anglers. These are the oldest lakes in the area, so nature has had time to develop. You won't be disappointed by the setting !
Whether on La Plaine 1 or 2, the fish stock is very close and interesting. If the conditions are right, the catches will be continuous!
Lakes 1 and 2 of La Plaine are very close, just a few metres separate them. However, the installations have been well thought out to allow peace and calm when angling and the anglers won’t be in each other’s way.
Two lakes of the La Plaine estate were originally gravel quarries many years ago. The average depth is 2.5 metres and reaches 4 metres at the deepest parts. It’s interesting to analyse the different depths to find the best fishing spot.
For groups, you may also rent both lakes exclusively, to include all 3 cabins, for a maximum of 8 anglers. In short, there are several options and with lots of catches possible, we are sure you’ll want for nothing.

May 31, 2022 at 8:26 amBooking admin and organisation absolutely first class Facilities and conditions at the lake also first class Fish stock and condition of fish excellent The fishing The lake is a good size for 2 anglers (3 at a pinch) The lake is 13ft deep with a featureless bottom and very steep banks The banks are lined with mainly small shrubs and trees with little access other than the excellent main peg and 2 overgrown little pegs. Tree roots form snags in many areas along the margins, there is no weed or obstacles in the main body of water.
The conditions during our week were quite strange, a cold main body of water and very hot bright condition produced very warm upper layers. The vast majority of the fish were between 2 and 4ft below the surface we didn’t see a single fish on the bottom. (We used DeeperSmartSonar and bait boat sonar) The banks are so steep it was not practical to cast to the far margin but we could walk a bait boat round place a bait on clear flattish spots inches from the bank, this was hard work but successful.
We tried zigs but had little success, neither of us are experienced zig anglers so no doubt could have been better.
We tried to induce bottom feeding with a large amount of bait at the bottom of the shelf with a trail up the shelf but nothing other than poisson chat visited the spot.
Our catch was a disappointing 13 fish to 38lb, but I’m sure that in view obviously excellent fish stock better angling would have done better. (I could see between 10 and 30 fish every time I walked around the lake) We could see literally thousands of poison chat in writhing balls in one corner of the margin but we had very little trouble from them.
I think once the water temperature is spread more evenly the fishing would become much easier.
