Overview

Escape to Ilot, a picturesque 4-acre gravel pit that offers an affordable lake exclusive for just a couple of anglers. It is home to impressive carp to over 59lb, including some truly beautiful scaley mirrors and a very good average weight. From the large double swim you can access the tree-lined margins and central island.

Overall, Ilot strikes an excellent balance of challenge and accessibility, offering a rewarding fishing holiday for anglers of varying experience. Situated in the Champagne region, it is just under 4 hours drive from Calais.

Christopher Pickett

"14 fish between us. All beautiful, pristine fish including 2 x 50's! This is a really good lake, loads of water for two anglers to fish. Cabin is a great idea - just bring a sleeping bag. Fishing is straight forward, we had some nice weather and it fished well. Both of us came away with new PBs."

Alan Tweed

"17 carp in total - best fish was a 46 pound common with 7 thirties. Very happy with my week at ILOT and the owner Constant was very helpful. I used his baits and they worked well. I have already booked to go again in 2026."

Steve Hickin

"23 fish in total, mainly 40 to 50lb & with 2 over 60lb. The facilities are very good, clean & tidy with plenty of hot water for shower. Highly recommended!"

"I’m a passionate angler and French FOX consultant. With the support of a small, dedicated team, I’ve carefully developed several carp fishing lakes in this region of France and we're very proud of what we have created. I speak good English and, whilst I don’t live on site, I’m available by phone if needed. I look forward to welcoming you soon!"
