Camalo Lake
Camalo lake is a 14 acre lake with huge carp to over 70lbs and a massive head of 40lbs plus fish. It is located in Central France approximately 5 hours from Calais and can be fished by a maximum of 6 anglers.
Camalo lake was originally dug in the 1970s and is now surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and an abundance of nature. The lake bed consists of clay and sand with some gravel areas and silt pockets. Depths range from around 10 feet at the dam end to 3 feet in the shallower areas. It is stream fed which keeps the water well oxygenated and helps to provide the ideal conditions for big carp to thrive. Rowing boats and echo sounders can be rented at the lake to aid with locating spots.
There are 3 swims on the lake all of which are on the north bank. All 3 swims can be access by car. Each swim offers a lot of water coverage. The VIP swim is a double swim and ideal for anglers who want a bit more comfort or if you are taking a partner as it includes a lodge set back a little way from the waters edge. The lodge includes a double bed as well as a sofa bed, a cooker, a small sofa, a table with 2 chairs and a microwave oven. Swim 1 is a double swim and swim 3 can be fished with a maximum of 4 rods. Swims 1 and 3 have electricity which can be used for 3 Euros per day.
On site there is a wash block with hot showers, toilets and basins. There are electrical sockets to charge your phone and batteries.
