Description: These former gravel pits were created about 25 years ago and were stocked with carp and other course fish around this time. Carp fishing at the venue commenced in November 2008 and early indications suggest there are many big carp already present with fish to 50+ already landed. These carp have been left to thrive in there natural environment without fishing pressure for two decades! In the winter of 2008/2009. Stock: we added a further 850 carp to forty pound, all uncaught mirrors from one of the best sources in France. We believe that added to the original stock Cretelakes will be among the very best carp fishing lakes France has to offer. In March 2010 we will be running organized all inclusive coach trips to and from Cretelakes with food packages included. Lakes: Cretelakes is a beautiful 4 lake venue set in 60 acres. The French carp fishing lakes are former gravel pits dug around 25 years ago and around this time they were stocked with carp and other course fish. Lake 1: 9 Acres Lake 2: Just under 6 Acres Lake 3: 8 Acres Lake 4: 6 Acres Facilities: Add to this the excellent onsite facilities which include an onsite restaurant with sky TV, a shower block with four showers and two toilets, and two full time English bailiffs.

So if its carp fishing in France on beautiful French lakes with big uncaught carp you’re looking for then Cretelakes is for you. 
Description: We’ve represented Roseau for 8 years and every year the fishing just gets better & better! 2010 sees an exciting new development for Roseau – the chance to take a fully inclusive trip here with the well respected Clearview Carp Tours. But if you prefer to drive yourself that’s no problem either as there’s plenty of Drive & Survive spaces available too There are two lakes of 12 and 2 acres. Both have grassy banks which are ideal for setting up bivvies but the land surrounding Roseau is reclaimed marsh land and this means that during periods of heavy rain, particularly early season, it can get very muddy. Please go prepared. The swims are not accessible by car. Large lake: This 12 acre lake is a great choice for the angler looking for non-stop action. It has an awesome number of fish with 20 runs a days more than possible. Average size is around mid 20’s - and there are lots & lots of 30lb+ fish. The record from the Large Lake stands at 50.06. There are 11 swims for a maximum of 10 anglers. Baitboats are allowed & these can be rented on-site. Small lake: This smaller 2 acre water holds a better stamp of fish in smaller numbers - best up to 51.08. The current stock for this small water is around 100 carp, including many 20lb plus fish. We can rent the small lake exclusively for a party of 3 or 4 anglers maximum - enquire for rates. 
The Lake: The lake is completely private and English owned so fishing 24 hrs is permitted, there is complete access around the lake on foot and car parking is adjacent the lake. All the carp that have been introduced to the lake have been bred locally by a well known French fish farmer whose fish are renowned for their powerful fighting qualities which we are sure will add to the enjoyment of your holiday at Etang St Pierremont.
