Overview
Gléhias offers superb French carp fishing with the option of including top class accommodation. This is definitely a venue where you could take the whole family and relax knowing that they'll be happy while you enjoy some fabulous carp fishing.
The accommodation is optional so it will also suit a small group of up to 4 anglers who prefer to bivvy and enjoy a lake to themselves. To give further flexibility Glehias also offers some weeks when it’s possible for 2 pairs of anglers to book the lake on a shared basis... so if you fancy a crack at this stunning little venue there’s lots of options.
The Mead Party – Phil, Jo, Jack Mead and Trevor Bulpitt, fished Glehias in May 2011. They caught 42 carp... 5 x 30lb+ to 36lb... and 15 x 25lb+... plus 2 catfish to 13lb. Here’s what they had to say;
“The condition of the fish and the fishing was excellent. Two rods were ample for each person (try to rest the spots when possible). Lee and Tracy have been great hosts and communication has been superb throughout the visit. Many thanks!”
The Carp Lake
The lake sits adjacent to a small forest, set in a 10 acre protected plot attracting a variety of rare and beautiful wildlife including eagles, owls and kingfishers.
It's around 3 acres in size, varying in depth from 1m to 2m. It's lined with irises, bulrushes, foxgloves and overhanging trees and shrubs. Gorgeous surroundings to enjoy superb French carp fishing.
On three sides of the lake there's room for 4 anglers and their bivvies on the grass banks. The fourth bank is overgrown with gorse and reeds giving an excellent feature to fish to.

The lake had never been fished before 2005 and the original stock of carp can only be guessed at.
What is known with certainty is that the owners did stock additional carp in February 2006 - this consisted of 68 fish, including 22 carp between 30lb and 42lb, plus several grass carp, koi and sturgeon.
We estimate this brings the total carp count to around 100 fish with an average weight of around 26lb.
This is a large number of fish for a 3 acre lake and should ensure everyone enjoys some rod bending action! There are no poisson chat or crayfish in this lake.
