Overview
Carrouge is a charming 5.5 acre lake situated in Northern France, 4 hours from the port of Calais and 1.5 hours from Caen. It's well stocked with around 250 carp to over 55lb and provides fairly straight forward carp fishing in lovely surroundings.
The layout makes this an ideal venue for a social, with all four swims (3 singles and 1 double) situated along one bank and with easy gravelled access. At the heart of it all is a large covered social area, central on the main bank, purpose-built for cooking and eating together whatever the weather. You'll also find all the usual facilities on site - toilet, shower, fridge, freezer and plenty of charging points.
Carrouge can be booked exclusively for your group or you can book individually. The lake accommodates a maximum of 5 anglers, but we limit it to 4 on non-exclusive weeks.
It's no surprise that this lake consistently earns some of our best feedback - with 30+ reviews and counting, anglers regularly praise the facilities, the fishing and owner Thomas's hospitality as some of the best they've experienced in France. It consistently provides thoroughly enjoyable carp fishing holidays.

William Evans
"Thom is an amazing host, he has such a lovely venue - so peaceful, quiet and the fish are lovely. Facilities were absolutely top notch and all done to top standards."
Henry Stokes
"Some upper 30s and lots of mid 20s. Facilities were fantastic, the nicest I’ve experienced in France fishing. Had a really good trip, Despite being on holiday Tom was in contact when required and was even helping us with spots from his holiday. Lovely people, lovely lake, would 100% recommend to anyone."
Liam Connors
"13 carp caught between myself and my dad to 36lb 13oz, with a 33lb grass carp as well. I had 4 x 30lb + carp. Thomas and Deborah were incredible hosts. Thomas was on hand for anything we needed providing amazing tips and knowledge of the lake. The facilities were fantastic and the lake is set in a very peaceful and quiet part of France."

Thomas
"I started carp fishing at 13 on this lake, whilst it was managed by my grandfather, and returned to it out of pure passion. The best part of owning the lake is seeing anglers enjoy the carp we’ve carefully raised. The lake’s standout feature is the quality of the fish, and guests are often pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the facilities. My top tip for visitors: take time on the first day to explore and find the right fishing spots. I look forward to welcoming you soon!"
