The Lake

Lac les Pins is set amongst Pine Trees in a most stunning and idyllic location, where you will be able to enjoy the tranquility and relaxation it offers. We acquired the lake from the French owner at the end of 2003. The lake is in a very secluded location, but you may spot a deer at sunrise and sunset, visiting and drinking from the lake. We have yet to see a wild boar, they are possibly hiding in the surrounding enclosed mature woodland, but there is plenty of other wildlife around to give that added feel of getting back to nature.

Our 12 Acre lake, with depths that run from 5ft - 15ft is stream fed, so there is no need to worry about these depths diminishing. The water quality is superb, with plenty of natural food resources, although we have been supplementing our fish with other nutrients in order to increase their growth.

There are 5 different specimens of Carp in the lake, many beautifully scaled, including full Linears, as well as some stunning Commons and originals with beautiful markings.

We have continued our stocking programme by introducing in excess of 200 Carp (Mirrors and Commons) into the lake and stock pond and we will be stocking again end of November 2008, with another twenty 40's and sixteen weighing 30lb - 32lb. (See photos of this new stock on www.talkingcarp.com )

      
      

We rest our waters during the Winter months from November until April, so as to add nutrients, de-stress our carp and make sure they are all in superb condition for reopening at the start of the Season. Up to now the growth rate has been phenomenal. We treat our fish with the greatest respect and expect all our anglers to do the same.

The swims are accessible from all sides, we do not believe in overcrowding so we have decided not to permit more than six anglers on at any one time, in order to allow our fishermen the maximum scope and manoeuvrability. Any snags that were in the lake were removed at the last vidange in November 2007 - thus leaving the lake snag free.

There is also a 1 1/4 acre stock pond which has been excavated to a depth of 5-8' in order for us to rear our own stock.
