DreamLake 1 DreamLake 1 offers 'specimen style' fishing and regularly produces large bags of big carp up to the mid 50's. The current records for the lake stand at an impressive 130lb (cat), 62lb-8oz (mirror) and 65lb (common). A 'square horseshoe' in shape and approx. 15 acres in size, we allow only 15 anglers per week on DreamLake 1. And with 23 well appointed swims to choose from, there is plenty of space to move around. All of the swims are large, log lined gravelled areas, built by carp anglers for carp anglers. Large bivvies or tents are accommodated comfortably; steps are thoughtfully placed for ease of access and 12 swims designated as suitable for disabled/wheelchair angling DreamLake 2 Now hosting around 3 x 60's, 15 x 50's, 50 x 40's and a shedload of 30's, DL2 regularly produces big individual, weekly hauls around the 40-50 fish mark. Just the top 15 Big Hauls of 2008 produced 777 fish between them. With top catches up to 95 fish in one week (and we are not talking tiddlers here), all 15 anglers took carp to 40lb+ and many made it into the DreamLake 50lb+ Club. But that is certainly not all, in fact in just one week last year, DL2 produced fish weighing in at a spectacular 6 tonnes. That's 13,393lb in just 7 days and included 2 anglers with 90+ fish, 2 anglers with 60+ fish and 4 anglers with 50+ fish... awesome! DL2 is an 18 acre water set in the middle of the Champagne-Ardennes region of France. It readily accommodates its 18 anglers and dedicated English Bailiff, with ease and is right next to the Dream Lake lodge, with all the facilities you need; spotless toilets and showers, air conditioned restaurant, Sky TV, payphone, bait & tackle shop etc. All 30 swims are designed by carp anglers for carp anglers and give you loads of room to move about, if you so choose - and there are no nuisance poisson chat, so netting your baits is not necessary. DreamLake 3 DreamLake 3 opened in May 2000 and has gone from strength to strength. In November 2003, 2 tonnes of carp to 50lb (including 142 x 40's, 30's & high 20's) combined with the addition of a further 100 carp (Dec 2002) and 120 carp to 53lb 8ozs introduced in Dec 2001 (plus 600 just prior to opening) makes the biomass of this 8 acre lake incredible. More recently, with the removal of some snags during Spring 2005, the fish will now have nowhere to hide and may have the effect of adding a further 150 fish. Now available to anglers on either our Inclusive Package or Voyage Self-Drive trips, DL3 offers anglers excellent 'action style' sport. Current records stand at 49lb-12oz (mirror), 70lb (common), 56lb (grass) and 87lb (cat). Mature and tree-lined with 16 log fronted, neatly presented and easily accessible swims DreamLake 3 provides ample room for the maximum 8 anglers accommodated each week. The depth of DreamLake 3 varies between 6-9ft with many features including gravel bars and weedbeds. And with no crayfish or poisson chat, so common to other French waters, you do not need to worry about netting bait. Daily transport, at meal times, to and from the air-conditioned DreamLake restaurant is provided by your resident DreamLake Bailiff. However, to save a short walk of approx. 1km, DreamLake 3 shares its own on-site shop, shower and toilet facilities with adjacent DreamLake 4 and DreamLake. DreamLake 4 The opening of DreamLake 4 in May 2000 saw the addition of over 200 carp to what was already an impressive level of stock. Since then a number of 30's and 40's have been introduced and, with a further 100 carp to 49lb (Nov 2003), 50 carp to 44lb (Dec 2002) and 40 carp in December 2001, DreamLake 4 is set to create even more PB's. Current records stand at 50lb (common), 50lb-8oz (mirror), 118lb (cat) and 50lb (grass). This attractive, 4 acre, mature, tree-lined lake boasts 8 rustic, log lined, neatly presented and easily accessible swims providing ample room for the maximum 4 anglers accommodated each week (or up to 6 if a group). The depth of DreamLake 4 varies between 7-8ft with many features including gravel bars and weedbeds. And with no crayfish or Poisson Chat, so common to other French waters, you do not need to worry about netting bait. Available to anglers on either our popular Inclusive Package or Voyage Self-Drive trips, DreamLake 4 offers anglers excellent facilities and 'action style' sport. DreamLake 5 Having opened in late March 2004, DreamLake 5 lived up to all expectations and offered some of the best carp & cat action in France. Not surprising when over 2 tonnes of carp to 50lbs, including nearly eighty 30's & 40's, were introduced in Dec 2003. In addition, some of our bigger cats to 120lb+ have also been relocated to the new DreamLake 5. All of these beautiful, pristine looking specimens supplement the existing levels of forties, thirties and the huge numbers of twenties & high doubles that are currently packing on the extra pounds as each week goes by. This 5 acre, mature and tree lined lake has depths of between 7-9ft and is presented with 8 neat and accessible swims, built by carp anglers for carp anglers. Accommodating a maximum of 5 anglers (or 6 if in a group), DreamLake 5 offers plenty of room with many features including gravel bars and weedbeds. And with no crayfish or Poisson Chat problems, so common to other French waters, you do not need to worry about netting bait. With over-Winter feeding, and forced into competing for food, the action at DreamLake 5 was set from day one! Current Records, established in 2004, now stand at 48lb 8oz (common), 52lb (mirror) and 127lb (cat). Available to anglers on either our popular Inclusive Package or Voyage Self-Drive trips, DreamLake 5 offers anglers excellent facilities and 'action style' sport.
