Moulin de Vaise, Cressanges, France
The most important thing to say about the Mill of Vaise is; the carp stock is unbelievable! This is a must-see-to-believe destination for all carp anglers.
With years of carp-angling experience behind him, the owner knows just what anglers are looking for; luxury, space, peace and a spectacular carp stock! The 8,5-acre lake, to rent exclusively, will perfectly suit all kinds of anglers : groups of friends looking for serious angling thrills or families looking to escape from the rat race. Comfort is to be had at the fully furnished and equipped safari lodge, just metres from the lake.
The 8,5 acres lake is perfectly suited and equipped for a maximum of 6 anglers. You can rent the domain exclusively for 100% enjoyment. Each swim has a gravelled area of around 20m2 for total fishing comfort. A boat is included in the price at both swims.
Also provided at each swim is a weighing sac, a landing mat and disinfectant. At the bank, the depth is 4.5 metres, the bottom being gravel, sand and mud. We advise you to bring equipment to test which would be the most productive areas.
Mill of Vaise’s carp stock is simply astounding! The owner, being a fish-farmer, has carefully selected each fish with attention to weight and scaling. The stock is well documented and chipped in order to note the growth and development of each fish.
Details : 147 Common carp populate the lake with a record of 64.3lbs, average weight of 35lbs. Catches of less than 35lbs are rare. The number of 40s and 50s is amazing. The rest of the stock comprises 10 Grass Carp (up to 65lbs), some Koi, 2 albino catfish (40 and 55lbs) and two Silver Carp (55 and 64lbs). The stock is utterly fantastic and unique.
