Overview
Carp fishing in France at Laroussi
In 2005 Laroussi burst onto the big fish scene with a bang... the catches were simply stunning. For example, over seven days in April '05 six different 50lb+ fish were caught - exceptional fishing which made headlines in most of the Carp Press. Each and every year since has been no different and the fantastic catch reports just keep rolling in.
The lake is a 34 year old virgin gravel pit set in the heart of the beautiful Pays de la Loire countryside. It lies close to Le Mans, famous for the legendary 24 hour motor racing circuit, and is within 3 hour’s drive from the ferry at Caen.
Here are a couple of quotes from the 2012 feedback;
This was my 1st time at this venue. I’ve heard many stories (from friends) of how well this fishery is run by Mehdi the owner and the big fish it contains - and I wasn't disappointed either! I broke my Pb 4 times during the week. I was in dream land & then I went on to land a fish of a lifetime - a new Pb 60.02 mirror! What a lake full of dreams!
Nigel Cocks, April ‘12
A total of 47 fish were caught, including mirrors of 70lb, 61lb, 59lb, 58lb, 56lb & 10 x 40lb+ commons. All 8 of us had a pb’s of one species or another and we have all been going to France for the past 10 years, which says something about the quality of this lake. As for the lake, just stunning, the pics on the website do not do it justice. Mehdi’s a top bloke who’s genuinely interested to hear about your captures and happy to offer guidance if required but will leave you to enjoy your holiday if not. We are already booked for a return next year and only been back a few days. If you like drive and survive style breaks this is up there with the best of em.

The Carp Lake
Laroussi is a mature, natural looking lake of around 15 acres with many interesting features including plateaus, overhanging trees, lily pads, shallows and gullies up to 5m deep. The average depth is around 3m, with a gravel, sand and clay bottom and there are no crayfish or poisson-chats present.
There are 7 swims (some doubles) for a maximum of 8 anglers - giving each one over one acre of lake to themselves! It is possible to book the lake exclusively. All the swims are easily accessible and comfortable.
The lake is fenced and tree lined making it totally private - it has been left as natural as possible giving a real feel of seclusion.

.jpg "A 76lb Carp from Laroussi")
Laroussi was not open to the public in the first 33 years it existed, giving the original stock fish plenty of time to mature - it now offers exceptional big carp fishing.
Most of the carp are between 30lb and 40lb, with more than 35 different forties, 18 different fifties, 4 different sixties and a huge 76lb mirror, the current lake record. This is some of the best carp fishing in France you'll ever find.
Take a look at the customer feedback & you'll see the phenomenal catches which can be enjoyed at this lake. However, as is usually the case with big fish waters the fish don’t give themselves up easily and you’ll need a certain amount of experience to get the best from Laroussi… but work hard and the results are definitely there!
In addition, there is a good head of grass carp to 52lb (with at least 20 different between 32lb and 52lb)... koi to 23lb and 6 catfish between 69lb and 164lb, with several specimens over 80lb .
