Carp and Cats
Carp and Cats

 

Location: Dordogne: We are located approximately 45 minutes, by car from Limoges and 1 hour 15 minutes from Bergerac

Website: http://www.carpandcats.com

Description:

The lake at Carp and Cats is a well established haven for fish. Formerly owned by a French family who used it as their holiday home. It seems though that no fishing ever took place. Rumour has it that the French only fish to eat and not for pleasure so they missed out on the joys of sitting on these sleepy banks with a rod in hand.

The lake is three acres in size, set in ten acres of beautiful tranquil and secluded woodland, all of which is securely fenced but with easy vehicle access. It is fed by several natural springs with varying depths to cater for all types of angling. Ideally suited to four anglers with a maximum of six permitted. There is a small island adorned by one of many beautiful overhanging silver birch trees making an ideal spot to fish to. You may prefer to stalk in the margins or fish our open water. All of this is possible here. The hard bottom of the lake combined with gravel bars allows perfect bait presentation. For the less mobile angler, the flat banks are ideal for easy access. With depths ranging from 18 inches to 14 feet with no snags the lake is perfect for any type of fishing. All of these features will add to the fun of fishing at the Carp and Cats location.

Stock:The lake is stocked with the highest quality carp – sourced from the most reputable fish farmer in France. There is a mixture of commons and mirrors, including plenty of hard fighting virgin carp up to 40lbs+. There is also a large head of catfish up to 61lbs+, with none less than late doubles. We have a large stock pond and two basins that enable us to keep the fish population at an optimum level for all of our anglers. This will ensure you don’t go short of a decent run or two.

Facilities:Luxury Chalet

Nestling on the bank of the lake our luxury IRM chalet provides excellent accommodation for up to six people. It offers two double bedrooms (one with a double bed, the other with twin beds) and a double pull out sofa in the lounge area. It also has a bathroom and separate toilet and a well equipped kitchen. It is furnished to a high standard with almost every modern comfort you could wish for. In addition it benefits from an outside terrace with table and chairs where you can relax and enjoy the beautiful views over the lake.

Tepee with Fire Pit

Why not try camping with a twist and spend one of your nights in a traditional Indian Tepee. Sleeping underneath the stars and cooking on our completely open fire pit will be an unforgettable magical experience never to be forgotten.

Facilities

If you enjoy table tennis or badminton, then we have the equipment for you to use. Or for the younger ones, the Adventure Playground is available as well. We have something for everyone - whether you want to work off the great food that's available in the Dordogne or just entertain the children, we've got it all here at Carp and Cats.

Le Chene Vert
Le Chene Vert - Carp fishing in South West France

 

Location: Situated in the heart of the Limousin countryside in an area of outstanding natural beauty, this 5 acre lake is still within easy reach of the A20 and Limoges airport.

Website: http://www.lechene-vert.co.uk

Description:If you are looking for a carp fishing venue with something to offer everyone then why not stay at Le Chene Vert. Our 5 acre carp lake is set in 5 acres of private parkland and woods. The lake is stocked with mirror carp and common carp to 45lbs and is ideal for both experienced and novice anglers, while our facilities make it an excellent choice for families, and mixed groups.

Stock:The lake is fed by 3 springs which ensures a constant level and excellent water quality all year round. The bottom is made up of sand and clay and has a layer of leaf mulch, grass carp ensure we have no weeds to cause snags.

The average depth is 2m, though this shallows out to 1m around some of the margins providing a shelf where the carp like to cruise, and deepens to 3 1/2m in 2 large holes towards the centre. Several old oak trees on the banks provide cover without impeding the fishing while natural contours in the bank provide ideal features to fish to.

This winter we are working on digging in a new swim at the top end of the lake which will open up a previously inaccessible area of the lake giving our anglers a greater choice. The lake is limited to 6 anglers with a choice of 8 swims 2 of which are doubles.

The lake was stocked in 2006 with carp to 40lb, and from what we have seen of these over the last year they certainly seem to be piling on the pounds.

We have a high percentage of mirrors and commons in the mid to high 20’s, with a good stock of 30lb +. All of our guests have commented on the colours and quality of the carp they have caught not to mention their good fighting ability!

We also have roach, chub, perch, grass carp and tench and most importantly no poisson chats!

Facilities:Le Chene Vert is a drive and survive venue and welcomes both anglers and non-angling guests. Children under 12 are also welcome on exclusive lake hire.

Our facilities include a 6 berth bunk chalet (16m sq) for those not wishing to bivvy up, English toilet and shower, large covered “Abri” for cooking, washing up and dining, (with power point and drinking water). You will also find a fridge and freezer for bait and grocery storage. Around the grounds you will also find barbeque facilities with picnic benches, large floodlit multi use sports pitch for 5 a side, badminton and volley ball. You are also welcome to use our 8m swimming pool (subject to season).

The Abri and toilet/shower facilities are approx 2 minutes walk from the furthest swim.

There is a secure hard standing car parking for 6 vehicles and vehicle lake side access for 4 of the swims.

The surrounding area has much to offer in the way of attractions and shopping facilities. The nearest bar and restaurant are less than 10 minutes walk from the gates. The restaurant comes highly recommended and can also offer bed and breakfast accommodation.

Bread and groceries can be bought in one of the nerby villages (approx 5 km ), and there is a pizza takeaway aprrox 5 minutes drive.

Sweet Chestnut Lake
Sweet Chestnut Lake in Perigord-Limousin

 

Location: We are positioned midway between the large towns of Limoges, Perigueux and Angouleme, approximately a 50 minute drive from each. We are just over the Limousin border in the Dordogne region.

Website: http://www.sweetchestnutlake.co.uk

Description:A beautiful stream and spring fed mature lake of just under 4 acres, 200 metres long and 70 metres wide. Depths vary from 1 metre, where the stream enters, to up to 5 metres at the dam end.

Levels are always maintained in the lake by the incoming streams and also by springs that can be seen bubbling from the lake bed. In the severe drought in France, in summer 2006, when many lakes actually dried up, sweet chestnut lake retained it’s full height

The lake bed has a combination of hard areas and silt, and there is no significant weed or snags.

Half of the lake has lovely flat grassed banks, level with the waters edge. The remaining half is left undisturbed as a wild life haven.

The lake is surrounded by native woodland . The predominant tree species being Sweet Chestnut and Oak with Birch, Alder, Poplar and Willow also in abundance. Beneath the tree canopy is a profusion of other native vegetation, including Gorse and Broom. Orchids have been seen growing in the shade of the trees.

Stock:In November 2006 and early January 2007 the lake was stocked with half a ton of 'Royale' strain Carp, from 20lbs to over 40lb's, supplied by premier french fish dealer Simon Horton. These immaculate fish have not seen a hook and have never been fished for, they are gorgeous specimens, mostly mirrors, and are just waiting to be caught.

Sweet Chestnut Lake has not been emptied for over 20 years and currently supports a healthy range of fish species. These include original Carp, Tench, Pike, Zander, Chub, Perch, Roach, Pumpkinseed and wild Trout. The lake is free of Poisson Chat and problem Crayfish.

We know from the previous owner that the lake contains 50 original carp and a further 50 have been introduced by him over the last 6 years. These are predominately commons and the original fish may be over 35 years old. The biggest carp recorded from the original stock is a 30lb 13 oz mirror. Last summer we spotted a group of over 80 of these carp basking on the surface, these included some 20 lb plus fish.

We are very much a ‘Runs Water’with plenty of carp of all sizes.

Facilities:The apartment itself is contained within the main house and has recently been refurbished and decorated to a high standard. It is a small self-contained, first floor open-plan apartment with a a small well equipped kitchen, separate bedroom and en-suite bathroom with English toilet and shower.

The accommodation is situated on the lake side, less that 10 metres from the water’s edge. Access is by way of an external stairway with a small viewing balcony and french doors to the living/dining area.

Outside the apartment exclusive to our guests, there is a lovely area with a table, chairs and parasol, ideal for sitting out and relaxing. Below this, accessed by natural steps, on the lake’s edge, is a hardstanding which can also be used and you can even fish from here if you like.

Lac Les Pins
Lac Les Pins -

 

Location: Our beautiful lake is situated in one of the most stunning settings in the Limousin area, on the border with the Dordogne.

Website: http://www.carpanglersparadise.com

Description:

Lac les Pins is set amongst Pine Trees in a most stunning and idyllic location, where you will be able to enjoy the tranquility and relaxation it offers. We acquired the lake from the French owner at the end of 2003. He had used the lake and surrounding area over the years for the hunting of wild boar. The lake is in a very secluded location, but you may spot a deer at sunrise and sunset, visiting and drinking from the lake. We have yet to see a wild boar, they are possibly hiding in the surrounding enclosed mature woodland, but there is plenty of other wildlife around to give that added feel of getting back to nature.

As the lake is stream fed, there is no need to worry about losing depths. The water quality is superb, with plenty of natural food resources, although we have been supplementing our fish with other nutrients in order to increase their growth prior to opening.

Our stunning specimens of Carp, a mixture of mirrors and commons, range from 20lbs to 50lbs, most were in excess of 30lbs to 38lbs in 2004 when newly stocked. They have now grown considerably, and our best recorded catch was in June 2005, weighing in at 48.5lb. In 2006, we will be continuing our stocking programme by introducing in excess of 150 Carp (Mirrors and Commons) into the lake and stock pond.

During 2005, we invited 24 angling friends to test out the lake for us. Overall, they caught 197 Carp, which is an average of 8.2 per person. There were 114 30's, with 36 over 35lbs, and 8 over 40lbs. There are 9 swims on the lake, accessible from all sides. We have decided not to permit more than 6 anglers on the lake at any one time. We believe in allowing each angler a larger area to themselves in which to fish, therefore enhancing the quality of your fishing holiday.

2005 was a year of much hard work and preparation to get our business on track for opening in 2006. We have recently had our 1 1/4 acre stock pond excavated to a depth of 5-8' in order for us to produce our own stock fish in the future.

Stock:CArp ranging from 20 to 50lbs

Facilities:

If you are flying, see Links for Ryanair and Flybe, both of whom have regular flights to Limoges. Please book as early as possible to ensure the cheapest flights, and to make sure that your booked dates are available.

Disabled French Fishery

Fishylake is a family run venue in the middle of France which caters for both disabled and able bodied people.

In fact, I understand that my fishery will be the first disabled fishery in France to be formally recognised by the British Disabled Angling Association.  I recently had a visit from the BDAA who, during some of their time here, also carried out an audit on the lake and its facilities.  

We are situated in the heart of the French countryside and the lake is about 3 acres in size with most of the banks treelined. It is the perfect size for up to 4 anglers and all swims are accessible for disabled people. 

It is a mixed fishery but also has a large head of carp.

 We also have a cabin at the lake which has a large wet room and kitchen and all the cooking is done by us.  You can hire your tackle from us, if required but all bait must be purchased from us.

 We offer a door to lake and lake to door service, if required.  If, however, you would prefer to fly then we can pick you up from Limoges airport.

 If you fancy trying a new lake this year why not visit our website for further information.  Our address is www.fishylake.net

Etang De La Boissonie
Etang De La Boissonie

Location: LimogesWebsite: http://www.carpanglersdream.com/Description: Set in the heart of the Limoisine region of France, dating back 100 years, Etang De La Boissonie is a totally secluded private lake. Being five acres in size and totally surrounded by acres of treelined meadow, it ensures that you are not overlooked by houses or roads.

With it’s mainly gravel bottom and two natural water supplies feeding the lake, it makes the perfect habitat for big Carp and Cats.

In my 25 years of Carp fishing, I have seen too many lakes overcrowded, making fishing very difficult, so we have limited the maximum number of anglers to six. The lake opened in April 2004 and has seen a successful season

To compliment its original stock of between Two hundred and Two hundred and fifty Carp, we have added another ninety Carp with weights up to 30lbs. Fourteen catfish were also added up to 30 lbs January 2005 saw an additional stock of carp introduced which consisted of 3 x 28.5 lbs, the rest were between 31 lbs up to 36 lbs +. Also added at this time were 6 Catfish between 41 lbs and 98lbs.To make your stay with us more comfortable we have added an English shower and toilet block, with hot and cold water.
