Overview
Are you looking for a French water that has the potential to smash your PB? Margot has established itself as one of the premiere big fish waters in France and definitely has the potential to send you home with aching arms and a very large smile on your face. With common carp to 71lb, grass carp over 45lb, koi carp to 36lb and the current sturgeon lake record standing at 67lb there’s a target here for everyone! This is premier league carp fishing in France.
Take a look at these catches;
The Carp Brew team fished Margot in May 2011 taking 1 x mid 40, 18 x 30lb’ers & a further 18 x 20lb’ers, but that’s not exceptional.
Only a few weeks earlier Mr Newton’s party had 93 carp with 3 of the party having 40lb+ fish and cats to 40lb+ too.

Situated in the Western Loire Margot is close to the historic cities of Le Mans, Angers and Tours, and is only 2¼ hours drive from the port of Caen. Its combination of rural tranquillity and massive stock of very large fish has made it a very popular destination for specimen anglers for years.
It’s around 19 acres with 8 flat pegs for up to 8 anglers and you can book the lake exclusively should you wish.
It’s a relatively shallow lake (2 to 8 feet) with a clay/fine silt bottom. Drag a marker float and lead across the bottom and you will soon locate the hard gravelly areas polished clean as the carp feed.
The maximum distance you probably need to cast is just under 100 yards but many fish get caught within 30 yards of the bank.
There are three boats on site which are available for your use.

Margot is owned by one of France’s most respected fish farmers, Michel Bigot, so as you can imagine the carp stocks are remarkable. Put quite simply he has readily available what most lakes just cannot get their hands on... an almost limitless supply of big carp offering you some of the very best carp fishing in France.
The current stock is over 400 carp up to 71lb. At least 100 fish are over the 30lb barrier and around 30 over 40lb. The current record is an awesome common carp that weighs in at 71lb! The Koi carp go to 36lb, the grass carp to 45lb+ and the current sturgeon record is 67lb.
Stop Press
