La Gléhias was a new venue for us in 2007 – and what a fantastic first year they had! Click here to read the feedback.
Gléhias further compliments our excellent range of small waters which can be booked exclusively and include 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 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.
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 together with several sets of lily pads. 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 is booked exclusively and can include fabulous accommodation for up to four people in a traditional French farmhouse, set a 5 minute walk from the lake. There are three bedrooms - one double and two singles, shower and toilet. Downstairs there is a large living room with TV and DVD. The kitchen has all you need for self catering, including oven and hob, sink, kettle, microwave, fridge/freezer and toaster. There's an optional food package which can be pre-booked if you prefer not to cook.

A food package is available here - price £80. Please enquire for details.
If you book the food package you will be asked to pay a 10% deposit to Angling Lines and the balance to the lake when you arrive. Please note that due to fluctuations in the exchange rate the balance you pay when you arrive may not equate exactly to the remaining 90% in £’s sterling – it may be slightly more or less due to a change in the exchange rate.

The owners supply an optional “Welcome Pack” of provisions which can be waiting for you when you arrive. It contains a few basic essentials such as tea, coffee, milk, sugar, loo rolls etc. to get you going so you don’t have to worry about going out shopping immediately. The charge is 25 euros, payable on arrival.
This venue stocks Quest Bait
Glehias stock a selection of tried and tested baits for anglers to Purchase. The boilies are supplied by Quest Baits and work extremely well. The pellet is the same pellet that the carp are fed on through the winter and so is an excellent attractor and ensures the fish feed with confidence.
Bait and pellet can be ordered in advance and be waiting for you when you arrive at the lake, saving you the problem of carrying extra weight. Just call the Angling Lines office to place your order.

The lake had never been fished before 2005 and the original stocking 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.
