Lagune Lassi
Location: Champagne region of France
Website: http://www.dhcarping.co.uk/
Description: The truly beautiful Lagune Lassi lies in the lovely Champagne region of France, just 31/2 hours drive from the port of Calais. This 6 acre, family run fishery is managed by a highly respected carp angler, nestling in a quiet, rural setting, where it is not unusual to hear only the sound of a distant tractor, whilst relaxing behind a set of carp rods.
Lagune Lassi is not runs water but is a carp lake, where the serious angler is well rewarded with the possibility of catching from a stock of sturgeon, carp up to 56lb and catfish up to approx 100lb!
The lake has no crayfish or poisson chat. The water is usually slightly coloured and the depth averages 12' 00'' in early season dropping to about 10' 00'' in late summer. The lake bed is firm, sandy gravel, with a few interesting features. There are one or two small weed beds present but these cause no problem to the angler.
Despite these 'carrieres' (the French name for sand and gravel lakes) being relatively young, Lassi is completely tree lined and wasn’t fished until 2002! There are 2 double-swims, the Laurels and the Lodge. There are also 4 single swims, and a corner of the lake which is completely overgrown with no swims. 2 of the single swims (Bar & Poplars) are only suitable for single bivvy’s. The amount of anglers is limited to a maximum of five. Disabled access is only possible to the lodge swim and access to the 4 single swims requires more effort, but wheel barrows are provided
The carp are mainly deep-bodied mirrors with high shoulders, huge mouths and big fins! There is also a sprinkling of commons of similar shape. Stock levels are reasonably high ensuring relatively easy-fishing. Everyone that visits Lagune Lassi including those with only a little carp experience, should easily catch its leviathans.
