Set in the Aube region of France, approximately 4 hours from Calais, Belenos lake is 10 acres in size and can be fished by up to 4 anglers. Surrounded by an abundance of nature and wildlife and fishing from the lakeside chalet, Belenos lake has been described by many anglers as fishing paradise.
There are 2 double swims which can be fished from. The main double swim, which is nestled between the mature trees that line the lake’s bank, includes a very well equipped wooden chalet which has good sized decking platform which overhanging the edge of the lake. The platform has ample room for the outdoor table and chairs and to be fished from by 2 anglers (rod pods are required). The chalet swim can fish to up to 8 acres of the lake and the double swim which is about 40 metres to the left of the chalet swim has access to 6 to 7 acres of the lake.
Belenos lake opened for the first time in 2022 having barely been fished for the previous 20 years. The lake record just under 50lbs, however larger carp have been spotted.
Carp were stocked into the lake in the mid 1990s and the current lake owner who purchased the lake in 2019 has added to the original stock with a mixture of commons, mirrors as well as some koi carp and sturgeon.
The lake is rich in natural food including crayfish which provides perfect conditions for growing big carp. As the lake has been untouched for almost 2 decades, apart from where the swims have been created, the banks are wild and over grown. The general depth is around 3 meters and the lake bed is full of underwater features including humps and troughs, silt, gravel and sandy areas.
A boat with outboard motor is available to use free of charge.
The lake is surrounded by wild life including wild cats, foxes, red squirrels, deer, pheasants and ducks. Dogs are permitted providing they are supervised at all times.
