Description
If you are looking for something a bit different for your Carp fishing holiday to France you have come to the right place. Stunning cliff lined Carp fishing lake in France with massive dark fish. The Lake Carp Quarry is a very old deep granite quarry which closed in 1938 and now fills from underground springs. This 3 acre lake truly is one of the most unusual stunning fishing venues in France. To the far side of the lake rising from the water are 100 ft granite cliffs which are home to many birds of prey. Clearly one of the outstanding fishing lakes in France. The swims are along one side of the lake which have been excavated to make large comfortable swims where it is possible to cast over to the overhanging trees on the cliff face opposite but a baitboat is very handy in swims 3,4 & 5. The lake which is set in its own grounds has a large lockable gated entrance. You can park your car within the lake complex giving you total privacy. No permits are required and fishing is permitted day and night. We recommend 4 persons fishing but can accommodate up to 5. The lake is very deep with mainly a rock and gravel bottom with a few silty areas. We newly stocked in excess of a ton of fish supplied by a local fish farmer in the winter of 2008. The smallest of these fish being 23lb up to the mid 40’s with the average fish being nearly 30lb. These are the quick growing large framed royal strain, mainly mirrors, with a few common to compliment the existing fish stocks. The lake was stocked with carp and trout by the previous owner in 1995 but was only fished for trout up until the year 2000, since then it has been left untouched. The lake dates back to 1938 when it stopped production as a quarry. It holds a good head of wild carp as well as the original mirrors and commons which we know very little about, but have heard stories about monster commons. We have seen one of them that looked in excess of 50lb, so the lake may produce one or two surprises.
Rules
No litter Minimum 12lb line and 2lb test curve rod No fixed rigs and barbless hooks only No sacking or holding of fish for any reason Please treat the fish with care, weigh and take your photograph as quickly as possible and return the fish to the lake Please bring a Carp care kit with you and treat any hook holes and wounds. Please follow our Big Carp Fish care Guide below Fish to be kept as low as possible to the ground with a mat under it at all times Maximum 3 rods per person and no rods to be left unattended Fishing only from designated swims, not high banks Our landing nets, unhooking mats and weigh slings to be used at all times. Please do not bring your own these are provided free of charge No open fires No excessive drinking or rowdy behaviour No swimming or climbing of cliffs No cutting or damage to the banks or vegetation No excessive baiting up or dumping unused baits into the lake at the end of your stay Gate to be kept shut at all times and locked when lake is unattended.
