The lake also holds tench, perch and trout as well as good head of roach and rudd.

Location: Pays de la Loire, Sarthe Website: http://www.anglinglines.com/docs/ourvenues/lakes/oakview/index.php Description: A truly outstanding venue for the family angler. That’s not just our opinion, it’s what our customers keep telling us – again and again. Whether you are an experienced angler just looking for a relaxed quality fishing holiday with the family, or whether you are a group of friends who fancy getting started on some bigger carp, Oakview caters for both. Tucked away in the country lanes of the beautiful Mayenne countryside, the two and a half acre lake with its luxury lakeside lodge is two and a half hours from Caen and five hours from Calais. At the 2 lodge swims, anglers can enjoy a drink or a meal together on the lodge terrace without even having to reel-in. Oakview’s flat curving banks also make it comfortable for 4 anglers to tuck themselves out of sight and still have access to the island, margins and plenty of open water. The accommodation often attracts family anglers, so the lake doesn’t tend to suffer from continuous pressure fishing. The 2009 season saw great catch reports from experienced anglers and countless PBs from those newer to the French fishing experience Lake: The Lake was completely drained and de-silted in November 2007 and the carp were introduced in stages throughout 2008. It’s roughly pear-shaped with a central island in its bulge, meaning that 100% of the water is fishable and 4 anglers will all have attractive swims.The banks are grassed, flat and wide and mature trees surround the whole complex, making it a haven for wild animals and birds amongst the surrounding farmland. The swims are located near each corner of the lake and each of the 4 main swims has a sister swim on its adjacent bank. So every angler can switch banks at any time to take advantage of changing wind and conditions. In the 2 home swims you can enjoy a drink or a meal on the lodge terrace without even having to reel in! The lake bottom is mainly clay. There are deeper areas at both ends of the lake and a deeper trench running the length of the lake - so there’s plenty of underwater ridges and features to fish to. The depth range is between 4 and 7 feet and although the water level normally drops a foot over the summer months, there is very little silt, so there aren’t any shallow no-go areas. Stock: Average size of carp stocked in November 2008 was 20lb 4oz. Average catch in 2009 was 25lb and the catch reports saw plenty of 30s on the bank. The 2009 lake record was 39lb 8oz and the most fish out by single anglers in a week were 37 and 21. Nuisance fish (small carp) were removed in July 2009.  Etang Brulatte

2010 sees the first year that the lake is available to the general public; previously it has been for the exclusive enjoyment of friends and family, the fish have been sourced and stocked with quality, rather than size or quantity as the deciding factor, although the Carp do go to 40lbs and Tench to 9lbs, along with size the stocking levels are generous to help with your catch rate, also the facilities have been built to a quality standard rather than price, so you will not be disappointed. As with most French towns and villages they have weekly markets where you can find a variety of goods including locally grown produce. Further away (20 mins) you will find the city of Fougères home to the largest medieval castle in France, with the famous Mont St Michel, Normandy beaches etc. only a short distance further, or in the opposite direction Le Mans, Vitre, Saumur etc. are all within easy reach.

Lac Serenity in Normandy
Location: Hidden away in the Orne region, bordering Mayenne, Lac Serenity is a fully tree lined 7.2 acre lake, more reminiscent of an old English estate lake. Website: http://www.lacserenity.com
All the swims on Lac Serenity offer the angler plenty of visible features and water to fish to, lily pads and over hanging bushes in the margins offer the fish plenty of cover during the warmer months and are ideal hotspots for laying your traps. Under the surface the lakebed has patches of silt and is relatively snag free, the rest of the lakebed is made up of bars, troughs and holes again all ideal hotspots and target areas for searching out your quarry. Much thought has gone into the swims to give each angler a host of features and also so you don’t encroach onto neighbouring swims, there are 9 swims in total on the lake but we don’t wish the lake to be over crowded and prefer to keep it to a maximum of 7 anglers at anyone time, so there is plenty of room for you all to move around. The swims have all been designed and arranged to offer you plenty of space and comfort, most of the swims will allow you to pitch even the biggest of bivvies, swim 4 has been made into a double swim should you wish to have a social fishing trip. Stock:Lac Serenity is home to good head of hard fighting top quality specimen Mirrors with starburst scale patterns and Commons that shine like bars of gold up to a weight of 48.09lb and by the time you arrive, if the fish continue to put on weight as they are doing at the moment, there is a possibility there could be fish to 50+ in the lake. To further compliment the fishing and to offer something different, we also have a few Catfish to vary your fishing techniques. The Lac Serenity fish have seen very little angling pressure and as such have gained weight since their original stocking and have spawned several times so during the winter period, the lake has been drained down and the smaller fish have been removed and the hand picked selected ones have been added into our stock pond and grown on for future stockings, We have also added a further 120 carp ranging in weight from 20lb up to 44lb+. You can be assured that the fish at Lac Serenity are of a very high quality, and will fight hard and long all the way to the net. The fish in our lake are all in immaculate condition due to a high nutritional pellet, which has been fed to them since they were first stocked, the feeding program will continue throughout the year, we do this to ensure that our stock are able to gain growth and to retain condition & stamina. Facilities:Adjacent to the lake is the Fisherman’s lodge, which is available to all of our guests 24 hrs a day. Inside you will find shower and toilet facilities and sinks with plenty of hot running water whenever you require it. Also for your use is a 4 ring gas hob and microwave and fridge/freezer for storing all your supplies, the kitchen is well supplied with pots & pans and crockery should you prefer to cook your own meals and not take advantage of our freshly produced home cooked food. For those taking advantage of our food package, meals will be served looking out over the lake or inside the lodge should the weather be against us. Whilst taking a break from the fishing, the lodge is also equipped with English TV so catching up with events back home is easy or if you fancy a game a pool we have a full size table for your use. The lodge also has plenty of sockets for charging your bait boats, phones or camera batteries. We are also able to offer our guests a meal package; all the food is freshly prepared and will satisfy the biggest of appetites. Booking information:http://www.lacserenity.com/price.html
