Brittany Mill Lakes Location : BrittanyWebsite : http://www.brittanymilllakes.com/Description: Since opening we have gone from strength to strength, the carp continue to show massive growth rates in the mild climate and rich waters of southern Brittany, could 2009 be the year for our first carp over 60lb? We hope so as a number of our 50lb + fish are still growing and their huge frames show great potential for reaching not just sixty pounds but record breaking sizes.

Mill Lake is our flagship lake and it is heaving with big carp! Many forties, up to 6 fifties and untold thirties and twenties, as well as cats to 116lbs and mervin the sturgeon currently 105lbs! Adorable is a nice description of this 12 acre lake set amidst traditional French countryside its old established woodland along one bank is full of wildlife while the grass bank on the opposite side is the area for sun lovers. A most pleasant place to fish, relax and enjoy nature, watch big carp cruise the surface in the heat of the summer sun occasionally throwing themselves out of the surface water crashing back in with a wallop that sounds more like a pig falling into the lake! Sitting right next to our main facilities and holding the largest of all our carp it really is so many anglers favourite lake.

Lake Cadouzan is set up for those that like loads of big carp action! Restocking began in 2005, when we introduced over 400 big carp mainly mid to upper twenties and thirties and 40's were stocked and they are growing fast!, biggest carp in 2009 52lbs followed by a nice 51lbs mirror and a good number of 40's and loads of upper 30's it keeps most anglers bite alarms singing! 17 acres of rich stream fed lake with a few Lilly beds in some of the best looking and most tranquil surroundings in France. A maximum of just 8 anglers (9 if a group booking) with 17 acres of water it guarantees you all the space you could ever want for your carp fishing adventure holiday. Our aim is to help you enjoy a fantastic and fun carp fishing holiday with great carp, great surroundings, great food, and to have a memorable time for all the right reasons. Huge stock now over 500 carp! Best catch of 2008 for one angler was 58 carp for a total weight of 1800lbs with 27 thirties to 39lbs. best so far for 2009 is 78 carp for angler Steve Major whilst his fishing buddy Leigh Wakeford had 63 carp for a total weight of 3135 lbs! Including loads of 30's, 2 x 40's and a 52lbs mirror.

Lake Lezay is a true big fish venue where the likelihood of catching a whacker carp of 30, 40 or 50lb exceeds the chances of catching 20s because of the ratio of big carp in the lake. This water is by no means a pushover though as some of the carp are wise old lumps and the anglers that put in the most effort reap the best rewards, some of the catches here have been phenomenal! like Ashley who banked 10 big forties during his week or Gary who had 6 forties and a fifty pound carp plus others. Its not just a big carp water though, it also has a number of large catfish (silure) to 110 lbs and one huge diamond back sturgeon (named Mervin) who now weighs over 105 lbs! This is a peaceful and tranquil venue one in which to relax and soak up the angling environment until the line over your buzzer suddenly jolts you in to action that is! All Lezay stocks have been returned to mill lake prior to 2008 season (see the video) lezay should reopen in 2012 {rokcomments}
