Description
Forest View Carp Lake can be found nestling in the heart of the Limousin-Haute- Vienne National Park. This 6 acre carp fishing lake is surrounded by over 83 acres of woodland and set in breathtaking French countryside. With it’s own fresh springs of natural mineral water Forest View Carp Lake is a must for anglers! This carp fishing lake offers superb fishing in a peaceful and idyllic environment with an abundance of wildlife all around. The beauty and tranquility of this location lends itself to those that like to fish a remote and isolated lake. Being a lake that separates the experienced from the novices, you will enjoy the chase and challenge of the catch. Fishing licenses aren't required by anglers. The lake can comfortably accommodate a maximum of 5 anglers (4 if flying in) on 3 double pegs. New cabins have been designed and built on each swim to give the choice of a bivvy or a cabin. All fisherman have their own space to call home for the week. A large lodge with full cooking and kitchen facilities is on site with an eating and barbecue area. All pots, pans, cutlery and utensils are supplied. A large modern shower room with flushing toilet is on the side of the lodge. The lake varies in depth from 2ft to 11ft and has a varied base of gravel - sand - and shallow silt, predominantly silt. Forest View Carp Fishing Lake has been heavily stocked with fast growing French and Belgium Royal Carp weighing to over 80lb+. In November 2008 the first stock was introduced to the lake, then during the winter of 2009 a second stock was added. Quality stock was sourced from one of the best fish farms in France. The lake was opened to the public in 2011. The average size of fish being caught is over 40 lb and most catch fish exceeding 50lb. The lake record at the moment stands at 82lb and is also backed up with many other 50lb+, 60lb+ fish! A netting in the winter of 2017 revealed what stock we have. There were around 150 large carp, and with 20 above 50lb most will have a new personal best here. In 2019 our netting was mainly to remove the silver fish in the lake. With over 600lb removed this will give our fish plenty of space, food and oxygen to grow.
Accommodation Upon entering Forest View Carp Lake you will see the lodge. It is situated just a few metres from the lake edge. This facility is free to use by all anglers and guests, however a £50 per person refundable security deposit is required on arrival. This is to cover any accidental breakages and/or damage that may occur. The security deposit will be returned to you at the end of your holiday once everything is checked and found to be in order. Inside the lodge you will find a complete kitchen with all utensils and cutlery. There is a table and bench arrangement where you can sit in comfort and enjoy your meals. Adjacent to the lodge are toilet and shower facilities. Equipment in the lodge includes: gas fridge, cooker, sink and all utensils you might need during your stay. There are new fisherman's cabins at each swim but enough space has been left for your own bivvies if preferred. As we have the cabins, anglers bring their own bivvies should they wish to use one. However having the choice of a cabin to sleep and relax in we feel is a great benefit. Before continuing please check the Food and Bait plus Equipment pages to see what deal best suits your party. Please note, we only offer exclusive rental of the lake so other guests cannot be placed with you at the same time. The maximum of 5 people will never be exceeded.
Rules
Sacking or retaining of any fish is not permitted under any circumstances. All fish are catch and release after weighing/photo process Fishermen holding fish for photos must do so in the lake itself.
