Etang Damvillers
Availability 6 Anglers
Etang Damvillers is a 15 acre lake just 4 hours from Calais, which has a very impressive stock of carp to over 60lbs. The lake can be fished by a maximum of 7 anglers and is available for exclusive bookings.
In July 2023 the lake was purchased by the current owners. The lake had been unfished since around 2018, however prior to this it was a carp fishery with a very good existing stock of carp. A huge amount of work has been put to create a first class carp lake with excellent facilities.
There are ten swims at Etang Damvillers which are well spaced out around the lake giving each anglers plenty of water to fish to as well as the opportunity to move. The lake bed consists of gravel and silt. There is no weed. Depths range from 11 foot in the middle to around 3 feet in the margins.
Whilst the lake has not yet been netted it is estimated that there are around 250 to 350 carp. There is a very good average size of around 37lbs with the lake’s largest residents over 60lbs. A few single anglers fished the lake in 2023 with each angler landing 20+ carp for the week. One angler fished a 2 week session and landed over 50 carp.
