Welcome, to the web site of five lovely carp and catfish lakes on a very private estate in north-west France.
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 contain Wels’ catfish to 120lbs plus. The catfish are very powerful and will put up a fight which is second-to-none, so please bring your heavy tackle if you are targeting these.
The aim is to provide interesting big carp and cat fishing on five beautiful small lakes set in very private tranquil surroundings.
Poplars Lake and Birch Lake are both now well-established with UK anglers, many of whom return to the lakes year after year. Both Poplars and Birch can be booked exclusively for up to three anglers with non-fishing guests going free. 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 georgeous and has it's own private lakeside chalet accommodation suitable for two carp anglers, a fishing couple or the small family.
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 five lakes lie in tranquil and very private woodland surroundings set in rolling French countryside. The estate is entirely enclosed by fencing and secure gates, and the acres of woods and mature trees 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 and birds of prey.
