The Story
From lake design to stock
Summer 2017
During the summer of 2017 we started to drain down the two lakes.
We wanted to remove silt, join the two lakes together and create a number of intresting features.
The lakes needed to be left empty for several months for the silt to harden before it could be removed.
All previous catfish were removed so we could focus on turning the lake into a carp only water.
We then had a blank sheet to work from.
Winter 2017
The time finally arrived to carry out our plans.
Tons upon tons of silt was removed, a large island created, two lakes formed into one and lots of features created.
The island was created with sharp sloping margins with the idea of giving the carp lots of options.
Comfort.
There are 3 purpose built swims to choose from.
All swims are mud free and can accomodate any size bivvy.
Each swim has equal amounts of water and fish holding features to find.
Feb 2018.
In early 2018 we had our first stocking of pure french carp.
40 young carp between 17lb & 30lb arrived in perfect condition.
All carp stocked by Mr Domec, known throughout france for his years of carp farming expenance.
To Date.
All the stocked carp have thrived.
Left unpresured from angling over the past 5 years the carp have all remained in amazing condition with perfect mouths.
Each years spawn has thrown up the most perfect home grown carp boasting massive shoulders.
Our Adverage weight is now in the mid 20's with ample 30lb plus fish coming through.
