Overview
Jonchery is proven carp fishing in France at its very best - a 30-acre fishery in the Champagne region with a lake record over 70lb and a legendary reputation built over multiple decades. It's backed by over 300 reviews, many from anglers who return year after year - the clearest proof of how consistently this lake impresses.
It was created and is still run by the prominent Bachelier fish-farming family, stocked with a handpicked selection of around 360 carp from strains they have spent many years perfecting and an impressive portion of these at over 40lb+.
The six large double swims give you plenty of options on where and how to fish and all are booked by two anglers, with the exception of swims 1 and 5, which can also be booked by a single angler if required. Optional food packages and on-site bait are available.
You can pre-book individual swims or the lake exclusively for up to 12 anglers. Around 100m away sit the smaller sister lakes Jonchery 7 and Jonchery 8, which you can book alongside this lake to host groups of up to 18 anglers across the complex.

Reviews
Robert Loxley
"This is an absolutely fantastic venue. Mark the bailiff and Anita are great hosts and will go out of their way to make sure your holiday is as enjoyable as possible. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The venue is stocked with hard fighting, beautiful fish that will bring a smile to any anglers face. This was our 7th or 8th visit and we have booked a week for next year already."
Dave Pillman
"18 fish between Liz and myself. Fish close to spawning so very moody... grass carp to 58lb, common carp to 52.10lb. What a fantastic place Jonchery is, Mark and Anita are perfect hosts, and the lake has some stunning fish"
Dave Jenkins
"1 x 50lb (PB), 2 x 40, 6 x 30, 2 x 20 + 7 more. I must give Mark & Jamie a big thank you for all their help over the week - listen to Mark about the spots, feed well and the carp will turn up. Jonchery is always a pleasure to visit & fish - it is well run & plenty of big fish to go around. We have been now a number of times with no complaints & we have booked for the next 3 years already."
Steven Day
"18 carp from 21-58lb, fantastic carp in beautiful condition & a fantastic fishery. Mark the bailiff brilliant... & his good lady Anita, definitely recommend her food package. Have already booked for 2 trips next year, cannot praise this venue enough - 10 out of 10!"

"My family has a long tradition of fish farming and managing exceptional carp fishing lakes in France. We are now in the third generation of fish farmers, and we first met the English carp angling community over 30 years ago. From the very beginning, we have bred our own carp to ensure the best experience for our anglers, offering different lakes for different fishing experiences. Our experienced and dedicated bailiffs Franck and Mark (pictured) are always excited to welcome you to the lakes."
