The 200 FAST is a compact boat with a high level of finish. The boat is also very attractively priced. The 200 FAST boat is therefore very suitable for use on smaller waters and fast sessions. All FAST boats are made of 0.7 mm olive green PVC fabric which is also of high quality. We therefore give 5 year warranty on fabric and seams.

Méral France
Welcome to Les Ravalières ! Carp Fishing Holidays in France with luxury accommodation including a jacuzzi and pool. Now you don’t have to choose between a fishing holiday or a family holiday!! Gallien’s Reach is a 50 year old stream and spring fed lake, containing mirror carp, common carp and ghost koi. Carp to 55lb (24.95kg). It has quality water all year and is on a clay subsoil. The lake is 3 acres in size with depths ranging up to five feet. There are 2 islands roughly central and the western end of the lake is dammed. It has a hard bottom in some places and silty base in others which will make for challenging angling. There is some weed cover and lilies to fish to as well. There are 3 swims available around the lake allowing 3 anglers at any one time. Landing nets, unhooking mats and weighing slings are provided. Prior to 2020, this water had never been fished (except by family) and there were mirror and common carp in the lake when we arrived in December 2018. We enhanced the stock in February 2019 after netting the lake in December to remove excess silver fish. In December 2020 we netted to check on the progress and health of our fish. Happily they are growing really well, maintaining good health and nice proportions. During this netting we removed nearly 1 ton of silver fish, decreasing the biomass and allowing our fish to feed and grow. We increased our stock again in January, February, May and November 2020 and January 2021. Over 65 mirror carp and 13 common carp have been added ranging from 6kg (14lb) to 18kg (40lb), with the average weight now around 10kg (22lb). We also added some young ghost koi in May 2020 to grow on, some of their growth rates have been amazing. Additionally, there are zander, pike, perch, tench, roach and rudd in the lake. The fish spawned in May 2019, April 2020 and April 2021 and have been feeding well since. Over the winter of 2020 into 2021 Jon began the process of removing silt from the lake to provide increased water depth and quality. In the process finding the original river course. We have also been planting reeds, lilies and other aquatic plants to enhance the bio-diversity within the lake.

Dan Sibley reflects on a tricky session at Abbey Lakes in France, which saw him put in maximum effort in order to come away with a result. French trips are steadily starting to become much more common amongst UK anglers, and Dan Sibley was looking forward to his return over the channel. Little did he know, he would have to really grind out a result on the popular holiday venue, Abbey Lakes.

Lac Clement is a stunning 7 acre carp fishing lake in France. Situated in the Normandy countryside close to the historic town of Mortain. The fishery is within a comfortable distance of all the main ferry ports making it a perfect destination for your French carp fishing trip. The lake was created 40 years a go by the previous owner and in that time the lake and it's surroundings have flourished becoming a beautifully secluded fishery with plenty of bank side cover and a good stock of large french carp. Our on site facilities are excellent and include a shower block and a separate mobile home, these are open for all our anglers to use 24 hours a day.

There is no weed to contend with and the bottom varies from soft silt spots to rock and gravel. Because the lake is spring fed and with flow from the surrounding stream, water is constantly running through providing oxygen and keeping the depth at a set level. There is a small island at the one end of the lake with depths from 4 to 6 ft around it. No vehicle access is allowed around the lake but we provide trolleys for you to get your kit to the swims.

Information on all public waters and privately owned pay lakes has always been readily available online. Unfortunately its usually incomplete, difficult to find and lacking content and relevant information that is required for the dedicated carp angler. More often than not this information is presented in a foreign language giving the rest of Europe an edge over UK anglers. For the first time we bring together all of this information from hundreds of sources to provide the most comprehensive directory of these waters in a format that is informative, clear and concise.
