Highlights
Overview

Sapiniere is the ideal destination for carp fishing holidays with the family. You will be in the Sologne region in the heart of nature, with forests and wild animals. Nearby are the most beautiful of the Loire chateaux and the world-renowned Beauval Zoo. Everything is here for the family.

There’s a 10-person lodge with private, heated swimming pool and tennis court. You won’t need a fishing permit as you will have the lakes exclusively; the 5-acre one full of carp up to 45 lbs and sturgeon up to 49 lbs. You’ll also have the chance to fight the stunning Koi or Grass Carp which populate the second lake.

Lake

The 5- and 2-acre lakes have very different angling areas, all without obstructions (6 anglers maximum). The bank-fishing on these lakes is very productive; you’ll easily entice the stunning sturgeon in for a great battle.

You will be angling at the edge of a very dense forest in Sologne, immersed in the heart of nature with the opportunity of seeing wild animals such as boar and deer. All the lake’s surrounds are very well maintained to make your angling as easy as possible.

If you are looking for a small but well-stocked lake, then Sapiniere is for you. In short, Sapiniere is ideal for children, beginners or experienced anglers who wish to fish without having to think about the strategies.

The domain also has all equipment to rent out; bivvy, rods, etc, for a hassle-free holiday.

Fish

There are many carp, notably the spectacular Koi and some very strikingly coloured Commons. Average weight is over 20 lbs and there’s a great number of carp over 30 lbs.

This is not a lake to beat your PB, albeit the largest carp is a 47 pound-er. You’ll find, more than anything, a wide range of carp outside of the norm. the pleasure comes from not knowing what you will find at the end of your line; a sturgeon, a carp, a Grass Carp, a Koi…everything is possible. The balance between each species is carefully maintained by the very knowledgeable owner.

The difficulty level is relatively low if you search for the right areas. In the case of the lake being calm, then coax on the black bass; Spinners down the edge will bring you the bass all day.

This is an ideal place for a family fishing holiday, above all with the spacious accommodation on the domain. The fights with sturgeon will stay in your memory as will the moments spent with your family—nature walks, the swimming pool etc.

The heated swimming pool is reserved for exclusive use of this lodge’s guests and it is covered so you can swim even if the weather is miserable.

A tennis court is available for both lodges. There are angling materials available for predator and coarse fishing.
