Spruce lake is a mature 6.5 acre lake set in beautiful French countryside, just east of Limoges in south west France. The lake holds around 100 carp to excess of 50lbs, with a very good average size of mid to high 30lbs and a good head of 40lb+ carp.
Set within pristine private gardens, this mature lake is surrounded by mature overhanging trees and shrubs. The lake can be accessed on all sides and 10 very well maintained swims have been created which have been well positioned around the lake. Depth range from around 13 feet at the dam end of the lake down to around 3 and half foot at the shallowest areas. There is no weed present and only one known snag in the lake.
A maximum of 4 anglers can fish the lake and bookings can be on an exclusive basis or per angler.
For anglers wanting a bit more comfort or taking a non angling guest, rooms can be booked in the luxury bed and breakfast accommodation which overlooks the lake.
For per angler bookings, the cost for under 16s is £150.
Bookings are Saturday to Saturday
Tackle hire and collection from Limoge airport is available
A selection of bait including boilies, pellets and particles is available
The lake is owned by Mark and Allison. Allison was previously chef cooks to a very high standard. Why not enjoy the delicious food package which includes breakfast, which can be delivered to your swim, and dinner for just £170 per person per week.
