    Highlights

    Overview

    Rustic Lake is a very different kind of carp fishing destination, ideal for anglers looking to get away from it all and spend a week surrounded by nature. Hidden away in lush woodland, this small and intimate 2-acre lake offers a real feeling of isolation, with clear, fresh water and a beautifully natural setting.

    Located around 5 hours 30 minutes from Ouistreham and 5 hours 50 minutes from Saint-Malo, Rustic Lake requires a little more travelling than some of our destinations, but its peaceful location and unusual character make the journey worthwhile. Once on site, there is very little to disturb you apart from the surrounding forest and the water in front of you.

    The venue is suitable for a maximum of three anglers, making it particularly attractive for a small group of friends or a family wanting the lake to themselves. The simple lakeside cabin provides everything needed for a comfortable fishing week without taking away from the wild and secluded atmosphere of the venue.

    Lake

    At approximately 2 acres, Rustic Lake is relatively small, but there is plenty beneath the surface to keep anglers thinking throughout the week. Depth reaches around 13 ft close to the dam, while the lakebed is mainly a mixture of sand and silt.

    One of the main features of the lake is the variety of underwater structure. An old submerged wall, rocky areas, tree stumps and individual underwater boulders all provide obvious patrol routes and attractive feeding areas for the carp. Combined with the lake's clear water, these features make accurate observation and careful spot selection an important part of the fishing.

    Weed and algae are virtually absent, making presentation relatively straightforward across much of the lake.
    There are two natural, minimally developed swims. The main swim along the dam offers enough room for the group to fish together, which is a real advantage for friends or families who do not want to spend their holiday separated around the lake.

    Vehicle access is possible to part of the fishing area. Both boats and bait boats are permitted, and a rowing boat can also be hired on site.

    Fish

    Rustic Lake contains an estimated 80 to 90 carp, ranging from approximately 15 lb to 44 lb. A good proportion of the stock consists of fish in the upper weight ranges, with several carp between roughly 26 lb and 44 lb.

    The current mirror carp record is approximately 44 lb, while the largest recorded common is around 30 lb. There are also plenty of carp around the 30 lb mark, giving anglers a good chance of encountering quality fish during a week's fishing, with fish over 40 lb certainly present in the lake.

    The combination of a relatively compact water, a healthy stock and numerous underwater features can provide regular opportunities, while the clear water and rocky areas add an interesting visual element to the fishing.

    There are no reported nuisance stocks of bream or catfish, allowing anglers to concentrate on the carp throughout their stay.

    Description

    Accommodation at Rustic Lake is simple, practical and perfectly in keeping with the character of the venue. A 28 m² lakeside cabin sits overlooking the water, allowing anglers to remain close to their rods throughout the week.
    Inside is a comfortable kitchen and living area with a table and chairs, crockery, cutlery, glasses and mugs, pots and pans, a gas hob and an oven. A refrigerator is also provided, while a barbecue is available outside.
    The cabin also has a recently fitted shower area with a sink and water supplied from the property's spring. Water is available on site, although bringing bottled drinking water for the week is recommended. There is also a proper outdoor toilet rather than a dry or composting toilet.
    A sofa bed is available for resting, and anglers can also set up their own bedchairs inside the cabin if preferred. Bedding, duvets and pillows are not supplied, so these will need to be brought with you.
    The cabin and some of the lakeside facilities are powered by a solar-panel system, in keeping with the venue's secluded location. Electricity is therefore available on a limited basis rather than as a conventional mains supply.
    There is no Wi-Fi or swimming pool at Rustic Lake, but that is very much part of its appeal: this is a place for anglers who want a comfortable base beside the water while enjoying the feeling of being completely immersed in the surrounding forest.
