Les Saisons is a well-established, 10-acre lake nestled in the picturesque Champagne region of France, just a 3.5-hour drive from Calais. The lake is home to approximately 260 carp, including both mirrors and commons exceeding 60lbs.
Under new ownership, Les Saisons will open its doors to anglers for the first time in 2025. Considerable effort has been invested to provide exceptional fishing opportunities and top-quality facilities.
The lake is available exclusively for group bookings, accommodating a maximum of six anglers at a time. For those seeking extra comfort, or for non-anglers accompanying the group, there is an optional two-bedroom lodge that can sleep up to four people.
Les Saisons is a tree-lined gravel pit, often likened to an old English estate lake. It has an average depth of around five feet, featuring two islands, gravel bars, and silt channels. All snags have been removed to ensure an optimal fishing experience. The lake boasts 12 spacious swims, both natural and newly constructed, providing plenty of room for anglers to move around and take advantage of excellent stalking opportunities during the day.
The fish stock consists of both existing and recently introduced carp, totalling approximately 260. While Les Saisons has been a carp fishery for many years, it has seen minimal angling activity in recent years. As a result, the exact composition of the stock remains somewhat unknown, adding an element of intrigue and excitement for visiting anglers.
The venue is fully enclosed and secure.
In previous years, the lake has experienced weed growth during the summer months. To prepare for the 2025 season, blue dye will be introduced to the water to help manage weed growth, alongside ongoing weed control measures throughout the year.
The charming market town of Vitry-le-François is just a 10-minute drive away, offering visitors a taste of traditional French culture with its excellent selection of shops, bars, and restaurants.
