Al’s lake is a 4 acre spring fed lake located west on Limoges with an impressive stock of carp to over 50lbs and a good head of 40lb plus fish. The lake can be fished by a maximum of 4 anglers and there are 2 double swims and 1 single, making it ideal for small groups of friends.
It is not a difficult lake and has not had too much angler pressure. As a result the action can come thick and fast when the fish get on the bait.
The lake is set in acres of French countryside and is surrounded by an abundance of nature. The swims have been well thought out ensuring each angler has plenty of water to fish to. The lake bed is a mixture of silt and clay with the deepest area of the lake around 12 foot. Surrounding the lake are mature overhanging trees and shrubs as well as marginal lilly pads.

50 x 20lb plus
20 x 30lb plus
12 x 40lb plus

On site you’ll find a clean and tidy toilet and hot shower block as well as kitchen area and charging points for bait boats and phones.
