Carp France at Jonchery
Jonchery is a stunning 30 acre lake set in the heart of the Champagne region, created and run by the prominent fish farming Bachelier family. This lake has a great reputation, stretching back many years, for offering superb carp fishing holidays. The 6 large double swims give you loads of options on where and how to fish - you'll never be short of water. Action is usually prolific too thanks to its stock of around 350 big and healthy mirrors and commons, with an excellent head of 40lb+ carp.
You pre-book swims individually or the lake exclusive for up to 12 anglers. All swims must be booked by two anglers, with the exception of swims 1 and 5 which can be booked by a single angler if required.
"Everybody in the group enjoyed their carping holiday and can't wait to go back to Jonchery. We found mark the bailiff very helpful and friendly, meals they provided were excellent."
Michael Boness, April '18

The lake is shaped like an Xmas stocking, with swim 5 tucked neatly on the dam wall at the toe end and the facilities at the opposite end close to the entrance and swim 1. The lake bottom is fairly even, mainly silt, with an average depth of between 1.5 & 2m and is at its shallowest between swims 3 and 5. One side of the lake affords plenty of shade and the other bank is much more open.
Each of the 6 large double swims are spacious and well positioned affording around 5 acres of water for each swim, so there are plenty of fishing options.
Important note; swims are booked in advance at Jonchery so you'll need to decide which swim you'd like when you book. Make sure to check out the lake map and if you're struggling to decide then give us a call - we'll be happy to help. All swims must be booked by two anglers, with the exception of swims 1 and 5 which can be booked by a single angler if required.
You're welcome to use your own baitboat, providing you respect these baiting hours.
There's a nice even gravel track all around the lake so getting your tackle to your swim by car is easy.
Around 100m away is sited the sister lake Jonchery 7 which you can book with this lake to accept groups of up to 14 anglers on the complex.

As you would expect in a lake run by fish farmers, Jonchery is a very well stocked lake, with around 350 big and healthy mirrors and commons up to over 60lb, including an excellent head of 40lb+ carp.
However, what makes Jonchery really special is some of the tremendous scale patterns you'll find on the carp. From stunning linears to deep bodied fully scaled specimens, this lake contains some of the prettiest carp you'll ever see. This is because they were hand-picked for their beauty - take a look at the carp photos, you will know exactly what we mean. There are some exceptional Koi too, just to ring the changes.

Facilities
The facilities are sited at the entrance to the complex and are clean, well equipped and spacious. In addition to the shower and toilet there's a living area with a large table and benches and a kitchen with cooker, microwave and dishwasher. You can recharge batteries here too.
It's a great place to take cover if the weather turns for the worse or if you just want to eat a meal at a proper table. These large facilities are also shared by the anglers on the Jonchery 7.
Onsite Shop
We stock terminal tackle from gardener and taska at the lake. There are also items available to hire, you can find details of these on under the 'Tackle Hire' tab above.
