hello,
just remember a lot of the french carp lakes have now been hammmerd for a number of years and fishing them getts harder by the year . try and find a lake that is new, or never been fished,also consider looking for a local french lake,many of the vilages have fishnig clubs, the licence is annual around £50 witch can be brought from the local bar you just need to findout if can fish nights,
village of condi folli and etiolle ,its a hours drive from callis there is a number of lakes in this area . well to many to count
