All the usual amenities are present and the swims are all accessible by car. A peninsula has been built in July 2007 to reach the island. It is now possible to fish from the island for booking made on exclusive basis.

Lake & Stock: : The Lake is quite prolific with around 250 carp present up to 45lb, these make good use of the feature full mature 15 acre lake with a central area. The cats run up to 140lb and the average size is around 40-70lb. Plenty of fun is to be had in pleasant surroundings{rokcomments}

Fish Stocked: Carp

Location: Haute Nomandie, EureWebsite: www.anglinglines.com/docs/ourvenues/lakes/molyneux

Description: Molyneux lies in the beautiful Normandy countryside and is very easy to reach being just 2¾ hours from Calais and 1¼ hours from Le Havre… and apart from the last ten minutes it’s all motorway!

The lake is nestled in stunning countryside far from noise and light pollution, the loudest noise being the birdsong that provides a peaceful backdrop to the fantastic carp fishing on offer.

Lake: The Lake is a genuine 13 acres, sitting securely in a 19 acre fenced plot. It’s around 40 years old, spring fed and the banks are lined with fully grown willow trees which have had plenty of time to mature. It’s truly a stunning water to fish with many anglers remarking on its beauty.

The lake is mainly snag free, except around the islands, which of course are hot spots, but are easily fished with a little application. There are no poisson chat and very few crayfish.

With a maximum of 6 anglers (8 if booked exclusive) fishing this 13 acre lake, there’s plenty of room for un-pressurised fishing. Switching swims is possible… some are double and one will even accommodate three anglers.

Best tactics are often to fish to the islands over a small amount of bait… or to create a bed of bait in open water. With the open water tactic it sometimes takes a few days for the fish to move in, but once they do some very big hits can be had. The key to continued success is to then regularly top up the swim with bait. Rigs don’t need to be complicated, indeed simple and strong are the best choice.

Stock: In 1979 the lake was stocked with 80 mirrors and commons plus a handful of grass carp. These fish have grown on to become stunning, lean fighters which now average 30lb+, with some in the 40lb+ bracket. In November 2005 one and a half tonnes of new fish were added to the existing stock, ranging from 20 to 45lb… with one just tipping 50lb. These fish are of a fast growing strain and have spawned successfully. Finally in November 2006 another half a tonne of similar weight carp were added. There are also around 20 catfish in the lake between 15 and 20lb.

Location: Haute Normandie, EureWebsite Address: http://www.thecedarslakefrance.co.uk/

Description: Cedar is a mature gravel pit of around 4 acres in size which has 2 lakeside wooden chalets, both with their own fishing platforms. 4 anglers can hire the whole lake exclusively, including both chalets, but we also accept bookings from 2 pairs of anglers – each pair having use of one of the chalets.

 Lake: 4 acres in size and has 4 swims. Cedar is set in its own very private grounds, securely fenced in and separated from the road by the large Cedar trees from which it takes its name. The owners, Tommy and George Young, know what’s needed to produce a first class fishery, both in terms of carp stock and facilities, and they will spare no expense to do it... so you can be confident that Cedar is a top quality venue

 Facilities: They have installed two new wooden chalets on opposite banks of the lake, each having steps down to its own large, comfortable fishing platform. Each chalet has electricity, a fridge and cooking facilities and will comfortably sleep 2 people in 2 single beds (no bedding is supplied at all – please bring your own pillows, sleeping bags etc). At present there is no mains water available in the chalets but there is a refillable water tank to provide water for washing up etc. The newly built toilet and shower block does have mains water and drainage and is housed in a separate cabin on the third bank, a couple of minutes walk from either chalet. Access by car is possible to both chalets.

Because of the steps down to the fishing platforms from the chalets it would be too dangerous to allow fishing from the chalet i.e. you must be down on the platform with your rods if they are fishing. There’s plenty of room to bivvy up on the platforms so night fishing is not a problem.
