Etang du St Brice is a 7 acre lake located close to the historic fortified town of Fougères in Brittany. It is a drive and survive lake that can be fished by a maximum of 4 anglers. The ferry port of St Malo is a 50 minute drive and Caen is around 90 minutes away
Acquired by the current owners in 2016, a lot of work has gone into restoring the lake which opened for the first time in 2021.
New carp were added to the lake in January 2019, November 2019 and January 2020. The carp have been hand picked and include a good number of heavily plated mirrors and a few fully scaled mirrors as well as some beautiful deep bodied commons.
As of 2023 the lakes largest resident is 50lbs plus, there are several carp over 40lbs and a good head of 30s.
There are 6 swims around the lake, 3 of which are double swims with plenty of room for 2 large bivvies. Etang du St Brice is not a runs water but it is not a hard water either. Depths range from 2 to 8 feet and there’s lot of features including bays, gullies and even large granite boulders. Anglers that give some thought on where to fish and spend time identifying features will do well.
Bookings are Saturday to Saturday
