Collectively known as Etangs De Breton- the lakes contain an excellent head of both common, leather and mirror carp. These include carp to well over 40lb, with many 20lb and 30lb specimens. The lakes also contain numerous Wels’ catfish to 140lbs plus the usual coarse species.The lakes have been open since 2002 and hundreds of anglers have landed their personal best carp or cat whilst visiting us.
Our aim is to provide both exclusive and interesting carp and cat fishing on five beautiful small lakes all set close together in very private and tranquil surroundings. Each lake on the complex also has its own comfortable accommodation included in the price.
Poplars Lake and Birch Lake can be booked exclusively for up to three anglers. Two of the lakes - Eagle Lake and Peter's Pool - are now only available exclusively to single parties of up to four anglers who have both lakes to fish! Orchard Lake is absolutely gorgeous and is suitable for two carp anglers, a fishing couple or the small family. Wives, girlfriends and children go free on all lakes, there is no extra charge.
All the lakes are classic English-style estate lakes, and are all stream-fed and rich in natural food. Although all the lakes are close together you cannot see one lake from the other. This is an excellent feature. Once you set-up, you and your party has total privacy, and you are free to come and go as you please. The whole complex is owned by long time carp fisherman and angling writer, Paul Selman.
The five beautiful lakes lie in tranquil and very private woodland surroundings set in rolling French countryside. The complex is entirely enclosed by fencing and secure gates, and the acres of woodland which surround the lakes provide complete seclusion and quiet.
The property lies off a quiet back road; there is no noise other than the resident wildlife, which includes red squirrels, kingfishers, ducks, deer, songbirds and birds of prey.
You can come and go as you please, comfortable in the knowledge that your tackle and belongings are completely safe.
The major city of Laval and the town of Vitre are just fifteen minutes drive away. Laval is noted for its large hypermarkets and shopping facilities.
It also has one of the best carp tackle shops in north-west France!
Vitre is a wonderful medieval town with quaint shops and numerous bars and restaurants.
