April 2025 discount – all weeks for lake exclusive bookings £1750
Authentic lake is a mature 17 acre drive and survive lake, located south east of Paris in the valley of the river Yonne, just over 3 hours from Calais with a very impressive head of big carp to 70lbs.
The lake can be fished by up to 12 anglers and can be booked per angler or on a lake exclusive basis. There are over 450 carp with an average size of around 39lbs, a very big head of 40lb+ carp and at least 6 known 60s. As of May 2023 the lake produced a new record of a massive 70lbs!
It is a big fish water and recommended for experienced anglers. It is not a runs water. Those that put the effort in to locate the features, watch the water and apply tactics accordingly will be rewarded. Catches of 30 plus carp a week are not uncommon by experienced anglers.
The lake is lined with mature trees and packed full of features including bays and peninsulas (see aerial map photo). There are 9 swims which have equally spaced out around the lake to give each angler plenty of water to fish to. There is a track to drive around the lake and each swim has its own parking area.
Depths range from around 18 feet in the deepest parts to 6 feet in the shallower areas. If you use a prodding stick or marker rod you’ll find gravel areas among the silt. The lake has some weed, but it is not heavy and therefore does not inhibit the fishing in any of the swims.
Bookings are Saturday to Saturday
All bait to be order 1 month before trip unless it is short notice booking. A price list will be sent you when the final balance of the trip is due.
