Lac de Mandeix
Availability 3 Anglers
Nestled within 13 acres of private Limousin forest and countryside is Lac de Mandeix. Lac de Mandeix is a 6 acre lake with carp to over 55lbs and a 2 bedroom chalet which can sleep 4. The chalet is about 20 metres from the lake allowing you to easily keep an eye on the rods. Please note you cannot night fish from the chalet though.
Lac de Mandeix opens for the first time in late summer 2022 after the owners have spent 4 years hard work restoring the lake and carrying out extensive work on the grounds including building the chalet.
It is now the perfect venue for anglers as well as non anglers to enjoy complete privacy and have exclusive use of the lake and the landscaped grounds.
The lake can be fished by a maximum of 3 anglers each using 2 rods or 2 anglers each using 3 rods. This limited pressure on the fish ensures they remain very catchable and gives each angler plenty of opportunities to move swims.
The maximum amount of guests will 4 non angling guests in the chalet and 2 anglers who would be required to sleep in bivvies given the chalet only sleeps 4.
Since acquiring the lake the owners have made several stockings to supplement the existing resident carp and there is now a good head of common and mirror carp to over 55lbs.
The lake is steam fed and can be dated back to the 1800s in the Napoleon era. Due to the lake being stream fed it benefits from very high water quality which is the perfect environment to grow very big carp. Depths range from 10 feet at the dam end of the lake to around 2 feet in shallowest areas. There are plenty of features to fish to, including gravel areas, humps, reed lines and overhanging trees and bushes.
