In 2005 Laroussi burst onto the big fish scene with a bang...the catches were simply stunning. For example, over seven days in April 2005 six different 50lb+ fish were caught - exceptional fishing which made headlines in most of the Carp Press. Well 2006, 2007 & 2008 was no different and the fantastic catch reports kept 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’s some examples of feedback from 2009;
" 51 fish in total between the 2 of us. Quality venue with a quality bloke running it. One of the best venues in France "
Mr Sullivan, August 2009
" Awesome fishing! Find a spot and fish as tight/accurate to the spot as possible. We had 3 new lake records; common at 48lb 4oz , catfish at 115lb and the highest average weight (21 mirrors averaging 41lb 8oz) "
Mr Fletcher, April 2009

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.

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 30 different forties, 13 different fifties, 3 sixties of 61lb, 64lb, 65lb and a huge 75lb 2oz, the current lake record.
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 51lb 8oz (with at least 20 different between 30lb and 47lb), koi to 21lb, 10 sturgeon (brown backed) from 44lb to 71lb 3oz (the current French record) including 2 or 3 sixties and 8 catfish between 55lb and 100lb with several specimens over 70lb and one or two which have been hooked but never landed which we suspect are much bigger.
