French Venues

[Lard]

Hi,

 

Do any of you know of any venies in France that may be able to meet the following criteria:

 

Can be booked exclusively, has carp over 40lb, has decent accomodation?

 

Have checked out a few sites such as anglinglines but have found nothing that has grabbed my attention, other than Lac France & Lac Kingfisher through carpfrance, but these are booked for when I plan to go in August!

 

Any suggestions greatly appreciated, especially if you have been there.

 

Thanks, Lard

The big question is what do you mean by decent accomodation and for how many people ? Some lakes have a house / cottage that can be booked as well, it really depends on your requirements. I'm off to a lake in Sept that offers all the above but it's single 'house' accomodation is pretty small and would be fine for a very small family only - I can't remember the name off hand, but it advertises in the mags plus I've visited the lake before and have friends who've fished it a couple of times.

 

I also seem to recall Millers carp and cats have suitable sounding facilities, but I've never been there - try googling.

Hi Lard,

 

Hope Elton doesn't mind me posting a plug here, but check out our site..www.anglingliines.com and you'll see loads of choice. Videos, webpages etc.... call our office for a brochure and DVD.

 

Best Regards

The lake I was wracking my brains for is Lac De Lesmont. I'm pretty sure they have a website but again you'll need to search for it. I don't know prices for fishing and accomodation but I think they are about average.

The LAKES I have in mind WEE to be sold this year hence no booking as such yet!! BUT as the couple who own the lakes decided that they are going to keep them they also decided to have a year off to "Update" the facilities.

 

The lakes are spring fed and separated by a gravel bar. The accommodation is on-site and comprises of a wooden cabin and what was a freezer trailer now converted to a two bed "LODGE". Now I do know of two Gites available not too far away which are both two bed and are of the HIGHEST quality!! I stayed in the one for two months after I married last year and helped to renovate them!! So know a bit about them! BUT it all comes down to cost!? If it is Anglers to stay then the lake accommodation would be ok I reckon. if you are bringing the Wife and Kiddies? Maybe the Gites as well??

 

The most I know about the lakes is they have been in the same family for several years. The lake record is i think 42lb and last year they lost a couple of LARGE fish due to being "Spawn bound" The largest of which was a 38lb mirror which had never been seen before.

 

If you ARE interested to go further please contact me at "chris at french-lakes.com" please and I will be only too happy to help you out.
