Located in north west France just an hours drive from the ferry port of St Malo is Etang de la Basse Roussiere, a 25 acre lake  which offers fishing for up to 12 anglers. The lake can be booked exclusively or per swim. If you click the video tab you will find a video summary of this venue.

Opening for the first time to UK anglers in 2025, the lake has been stocked with 600 carp which are rapidly gaining weight. As of 2024 there are over 200 carp over 30lbs, at least 12 over 40lbs and at least 3 x 50s. There are 6 double swims, 1 of which swim 6 is on the opposite bank to swims 1 to 5 and can only be accessed by boat.

Swim 1: vehicle parking behind the swim, margin and open water fishing

Swim 2: vehicle parking behind the swim, open water fishing

Swim 3: vehicle parking behind the swim, open water fishing

Swim 4: vehicle parking behind the swim, open water fishing

Swim 5: parking is 100m away. The margins are very shallow and therefore waders are required and a rod pod to be set up in the margin. The swim offers margin fishing to lily pads and open water fishing

Swim 6: accessible by boat only. Margin fishing to lilly pads and open water fishing

The lake bed is predominantly clay and silt. Depths range from around 3 foot in the shallowest and are around 11 feet at the dam end of the lake. In the summer months you will find beautiful beds of lilies in the margins. There is very little weed present and there are no poisson chat, bream or crayfish present.
