Bill’s Lake 3 is a stunning tree lined 8 acre lake available to fish for a maximum of 6 anglers. Dug out over 30 years ago as a gravel pit, the lake holds carp in excess of 70lbs!
The lake is located south of Reims in North East France which is around 200 miles if you get the ferry in to Calais.
All of the swims have been dug out along one bank giving each swim good water coverage and clear boundaries. The far bank is an out of bounds area and as such a natural holding area for the carp. Casting to the far margin bank is a productive area but equally other areas of the lake should not be ignored. The average lake depth is around 11 foot.
There is a large head of 30lb plus carp, plenty of 40lb fish, a few 50s and even carp in the 60 and 70lb bracket too! Before the lake was acquired there were some magnificent grass carp present which remain in the lake some of which are over 50lbs!
The fish in Bill’s lake 3 are generally easy to locate with regular head and shouldering when the lake bursts into life in early spring and the carp continuing to be active well into December.
Anglers fishing Bill’s Lake 3 also have the option to fish for the river carp for a small cost in the River Marne which runs close by. These are incredibly hard fighting carp and strong gear is therefore required.
Bill’s Lake 3 has been stocked with 2 and half tons of carp from a high quality local fish farmer as well as some stunning ‘slate grey’ fish imported from Belgium.
Current stock levels include:
Very large head of 30lb plus carp
Many fish over 40lbs
Several carp over 50lbs
A few carp over the 60 and 70lb mark!
Grass carp currently caught to 47lbs, however there are grass carp to mid fifties present.
There is a cabin on site which includes a kitchen and can be hired for a small weekly charge.
There is a toilet and shower block which is free to use and available 24 hours a day. This was build for lake 3 in 2015.
Charging points are available to charge bait boats and mobile phones.
Bait boats can be hired – please enquire prior to your trip
Bait can purchasedon site – please enquire for details.
