Kingfisher Lake is a beautiful tree lined, 7-acre lake, located in Massignac in south west France about 45 minutes from Limoges. The lake is available to book exclusively for up to a maximum of 5 anglers and includes a fully equipped chalet which sleeps 6 set just back from the lake bank. The venue can be hired by more than 6 people, typically a mixture of anglers and non-anglers with some sleeping in the bivvies.
If you are a party of more than 8 anglers then both Kingfisher and Lac Lucie can be hired together. Please enquire for details.
There are 7 swims on two sides of the lake ensuring each swim has sufficient water coverage. Two of the swims are doubles and are ideal for those of you that like to fish in pairs. Depths vary from around 3 foot in the shallows to around 10 feet at it’s
deepest.
There is access all around the lake, making it ideal if you fancy some margin stalking under the overhanging trees and bushes. There are many underwater features, including gravel bars and deep holes so a bit of work with the marker rod will pay dividends.
The lake records are currently a 67lb carp and a 141lb catfish. There are also numerous carp in the 30 – 50lb bracket. The current owners of the lake bought the property in May 2023 from the original owner who established the fishery in 1999, one of the first carp lakes offering fishing
holiday in France for UK anglers.
The fishery was mentioned by angling legend, Chris Yates and inspired his book ‘Cross Channel Carping’. In this book he described the lakes as: “…Well off the beaten track, well clear of the over–intensive carp circuit, these lovely pools each have the unique atmosphere, offering wonderful fishing, especially for the stalker and have the potential to make even your biggest landing net look small…”
Kingfisher Lake is perfect for a family holiday and as well as the lakeside chalet, there is an outdoor dip pool for use between June and September.
Bookings are for exclusive hire only and from Saturday to Saturday.
