Big Carp Fishing Near Calais

Beaurepaire Fish

There may be some original unknown carp which were stocked by the gravel company and we certainly know that in '03 & '04 the owner stocked a large number of mirror and grass carp, including 3 x 30's, 100 x 20’s and 160 doubles. Over the years since then further smaller stockings were also added. We estimate around 250 carp in the lake.

The average size is now into the 30's with regular 40's and occasional 50lb and 60lb'ers make an appearance too - with carp reaching up to an impressive 73lb.

To give some variety catfish were stocked in '06 and these are now making regular appearances on the bank with many of them between 50 and 80lb+. The largest has been out at over 115lb.

Beaurepaire is a great venue to consider if it's your first trip to France… it's a pretty carp lake near Calais and you are assured of a big welcome from the owners.
