If you enjoy wildlife, peace and quiet, then this is your dream lake. Photo's really cannot do this lake the justice it deserves, it has to be seen to realise the beauty of the lake. 11 acres in size and set in the beautiful French countryside nestled amongst fields and forest the only thing to keep you awake at night is the wildlife and the slapping of the catfish tails.The birdsong during the day and the frog chorus in the night is spectacular.
  This truly is a place for you to unwind and relax. Privacy, peace and tranquillity interrupted by screaming runs are what to expect when you book this lake for your holiday.
In 2009 we emptied the lake, took out all the smaller fish that we could and also cleared the bottom of the lake, cut tree roots, branches and had a tractor to clear some big rocks which were in the lake. We then stocked some more really big catfish and also 2 mandarins.
Again in 2011 we netted the lake, took out the smaller fish and the average size carp in the lake is now 30lb+
 This is a very rich lake and the stock have been quietly growing bigger and bigger. The stock consists of common and mirror carp to 60lb along with catfish to just over 200lb. There are also 2 mandarin catfish the largest 65lb. The fishing is perfect, with no poisson chat or crayfish to bother you and no weed. There are plenty of features to fish to on this lake, with overhanging trees on the far bank and the dam wall, and reed beds around the edge. The depths range from 1 meter around the edge to the deepest areas around 3.5 meters. 80% of the bottom of the lake is gravel bottom with silt areas around the tree lines.
We know that there are anglers who like to use their own equipment but if you want to turn up and have everything waiting for you then why not hire it all or some from us.
We have 8 swims on this lake along 2 banks, but only allow 7 anglers. There are 2 double swims and a treble swim with a spare single swim. All swims are within easy walking distance of the caravan/outbuilding and car park, and easily accessible for unloading your gear. There are tables with benches in each swim.

Although you feel that you are in the middle of nowhere, in fact only 5 minutes away by car you have the village of Jarnages where there is a bakers, small supermarket, bars and hotel/restaurant, or again the main town of Gueret is 15 minutes along the motorway by car and has a good range of shops, supermarkets, banks etc.
