The Farm Lake is in the Aube region, about a four-hour drive from Calais with carp to over 70lbs as of May 2022. The lake is about 52 acres, can accommodate up to 16 anglers and it is set into 70 acres of beautiful land. Despite it being a big lake, big hits are common, please see the catch reports.
The lake used to be a quarry where sand and stone was extracted from 1997 to 2010. Whilst excavating, there were large areas of clay found which were left, this has given the lake plenty of features for the fish to explore. There are plenty plateaus, bays and bars that can be located if you are willing to make the effort. Due to the size of this lake, we do recommend that you bring an echo sounder and a leisure battery for our rental boats. The echo sounder is, of course, not necessary, but it will help you fish as accurately as possible.
There are around 750 carp in the lake. The current fish record is a mirror carp of 71lb and a common of 68lbs 8oz. The average weight is over 40lbs. Check out the catch reports.
There are 15 swims on the lake, many of these are double swims. They are simple, but comfortable and perfect for a long day and night fishing. There is an access track to all the swims, and there is also a lodge.
The local village is only 1km away and has all the amenities you’ll need during your stay, including a lovely restaurant, bar, bakery, pharmacy and a small shop. There is also a bigger town 10 minutes down the road if you need a supermarket during your stay.
Winter fishing is available at The Lake Farm at a reduced price.
The lake owners have worked hard to develop boilies that help maintain the carp’s health and help them to grow throughout the season. These are now the recognised food source for the carp, and they really love them! To go with the bottom baits you can also purchase matching pop-ups, wafters as well as hardened hookbaits.
