About the Lake
Golden Carp Lake is a spring-fed 12 acre sand quarry that was abandoned and flooded in the late 1970's.
It caters comfortably for seven anglers and features three double swims, a single swim, plus the cabin swim which sits to one end of the lake (for two anglers and up to four guests, with a private plunge pool and accommodation). If adding the cabin accommodation when making your booking online, please select swim 1 to go with this - this gives you enough water to fish either from the cabin swims directly outside or from the platform at swim 1 too.
All of the swims have been purpose-built with a mud-free gravelled surface. Swims 1, 2, 3 and 4 each have a rowing boat ramp, with swims 1, 2 and 3 also featuring stepped access to the water. We strongly recommend the use of rod pods, as the ground on the swims is exceptionally hard.
Depths range from a foot to around 14 feet, with an average depth of around 7 feet. Water levels can drop around 3 feet due to the sunshine and hot weather that is associated with this part of France. However, the lake remains fishable throughout the year, with good catches still being made well into December.
Features include three islands, reed-lined banks, drop-offs, a few (fairly angler-friendly) snags, and a few patches of weed in the shallows that are managed by grass carp throughout the season. There are no crayfish or poisson chat.
All swims have vehicle access for loading and unloading your gear.
Rowing Boats
boats with oars and life jackets (which must be worn) are included with every booking. For insurance and hygiene reasons, only boats supplied by the lake may be used.
On arrival anglers can choose between using the boats with oars and rowlocks or hiring a motor.
Boat motors and batteries are available to hire at €60 per swim payable on arrival with a €100/£100 deposit. Additional rowlocks can be provided at any time if required, just contact the owner.
