Highlights
Overview

Located in the North-West of France, between Normandie and Brittany, David and Caroline have ensured the reputation of this up-market fishing spot. Fed by natural springs and streams, this idyllic lake will definitely charm you. There’s well-appointed swims and quality service for anglers. You'll be bowled over by the place and maybe break the record at 53lbs!

Lake Map
Lake

The 13-acre lake consists of 11 fishing swims for up to 6 anglers. The aim is to offer you a wide choice of locations and enough water to fish without being hampered by other lines.

The lake depth ranges from 2 -7 ft, average 4 – 5 ft. with the occasional clay and gravel bar, the bed predominantly made up of clay and silt. The lake features five islands, the ‘Point’ and the ‘D’, and plenty of overhanging marginal shrubs and trees.
The lake is fed by streams and natural springs.

Fish

Depending on the time of year, based on weights pre- and post-spawning, there are around 30 fish at 25lb+, 60-70 fish between 30-35lb, 60-70 fish between 35-45lb, 40-50 fish in excess of 45lb+ and (again, depending on time of year) we have between 6-12 50lb+ fish, going to mid fifties. We might nudge the magical 60+ barrier this year! Grassies in excess of 50lb+ are always a welcome surprise.

If you wish, David and Caroline can help you in all aspects of carp fishing (land the fish, weigh it or take a picture of you).
Fish care is an important part of fishing management on site, David and Caroline are happy to offer this service 24 hours a day to all their customers.
