France

Without doubt, France has always been the cornerstone of European carp fishing with so many well managed waters in every region and with a culture that promotes and encourages carp fishing on a national level.

Home to some of the world's most iconic carp fishing lakes and with such a wealth of well stocked waters, it is no surprise that French lakes make up the majority of the waters we include in our databases.
