About the Lake
The lake itself is uncomplicated to fish - it isn't snaggy and there aren't any issues with weed. There's good variation in depth, ranging from 1.2 to 3.7 metres at the deepest and you'll find a small island off centre.
There are three swims here, each on its own side of the lake.
Swim one is situated directly in front of the lodge, on the dam wall. You have the width of the lake to fish with margins both sides. It is an 18m2 woodchip pontoon making it very practical in the wetter months. From door to swim the distance is 30m, so for those physically able to be quick on their rods it is possible to fish from this swim whilst sleeping within the accommodation.
Swim two is a large grass double, half way down the left side. From here you can cast to the island and left-hand margins heading to the top of the lake. It can accept a vehicle parked behind it in the dry summer months. Here you will also find a simple wooden lodge, which you can use as an alternative to a bivvy if you wish.
Swim three is another large grass double on the opposite side of the lake, built out into the water slightly. It also fishes to the island on its right.
There are no poisson chat. The lake does have some crayfish present so if you're fishing in the hot summer months it is best to go prepared with shrinkwrap just incase - you can find lots of information here for combatting crayfish in France.
At Heart Lake, you also have access to the little coarse / stock lake which sits just above the main lake. It proves good fun fishing for kids or simply those wanting some quick bends in the rod!
