carpquarry

Due to depth of our lake and the fact it is sheltered by cliffs we very rarely freeze.But make no mistake fishing in Feb is going to be hard no matter where you go but it is possable to get a fish or two for the week. As Mrsrusheslake said have a few options and phone the lake a week before and book then no one will be busy in Feb so you should be able to get in somewhere. We at Carpquarry would do a day rate of £25/person/24 hours and pay when you get here so you dont loose out on deposits.We would just hold a cash deposit when you were here and return to you on leaving.

We are open early at Carpquarry and can sort you ot a good deal, How will it fish who knows so much depends on the weather. www.carpquarry.co.uk

Also worth a look at Carpquarry, we fit the bill you are looking for. www.carpquarry.co.uk

They were stupid prices last year(2010) from Portsmouth for a week, What makes you mad is the fact it is much cheaper if you go for 5 days or less, So hows that work???

Thanks Planchon For the mention I am sure we would be able to help.Nice 3 bedroom house and 3 acre carp lake in a amazing setting. www.carpquarry.co.uk

Wow thats a nightmare hope they have sorted that one out. I have to say it has not happen to me when I have been looking at other lakes.

Have you had a look at the lakes on Carp.com ? Scoll to the top of the page and click on Fishing Holidays then just click on the lakes to view there websites.

Thanks for the pointer Jules007, Unfortunatly we are booked for that week. Have a look at etang de planchon bit more of a drive but maybe perfect for your group.

Well Chris I dont know what lake you are talking about and I am no expert on runs waters and I may get shoot down for saying this, but at best the lake you are talking about has 50 fish per acre if it is only 5 acres, I would think it is somewhere in the middle. I would think for a proper pucka runs water you would want 100 fish per acre. The best person to ask is Kim on here she runs a good runs water called Rushes and she may be able to give you more of an idea on what stock levels per acre you should have.

The depth of a lake will not make alot of differance to whether you catch fish, I have a very deep lake and there is no problem catching at 25/30ft the only differance it will make is that a deeper water will fish well later in the year but take a bit longer to get going in the spring. What you need to look at is what type of lake it is a runs water lots of smaller fish or a specimen lake with large fish but fewer of them. Stock levels will give you an idea but you have to take into account depth and not just surface area, We have appox 200 fish in 3 acres but with depths of 50ft and ave 35ft it has just as much water in as most 15 acre lakes and it is by no means a runs water.

We are open all year if people want to have a go at winter carping

Winter carp fishing at Carpquarry 19/11/10 Saw the return for the 3rd time of the 3 amigos Tony Steve and Nick for a weeks winter Carp fishing in France at Carpquarry. The pegs the guys have are Tony swim 1 Steve swim 3 and Nick swim 5. First 24hours - Tony is of the mark with a 27lb8oz and also lost another at the net. Its been quite for Steve but to be fair he has not tried to hard as still recovering from the travel and Nick has lost 4 fish maybe getting a bit excited and being to heavy on them. If you try to bully them you will loose!!! Day 2 - No fish for Tony but did loose one that wiped out all his other rods LOL.Steves of the mark with a mirror at 28lb8oz and Nick is also off the mark with a nice fish of 30lb. Day 3 - Tonys had a small one at 26lb8oz and Steve has now got his first 30 of the trip with a 31lb mirror this was a massive fish and looked much bigger, wait till you see the photos you will not beleave it is only 31. All quite for Nick. Day 4 - Tonys had another small one at 27lb8oz and all quite for Steve Nick had a nice mirror of 34lb setting a new PB for him and also lost another. Day 5 - Tony has got his mojo back and landed 2 fish at 33lb and 34lb now all the guys have landed 30lb plus fish. All quite again for Steve but Nick has had a couple more at 27lb8oz and 31lb. Day 6 - All quite for Tony but Steve had another Mirror at 31lb and Nick smashed his PB again with a stunning mirror of 38lb and lost another.Nicks over the moon with his fishing and has now packed up to get a good sleep before the drive home tomorrow but the other two are fishing on after a 40plus fish.Lets hope they get one, they deserve it after fishing in the freezing conditions. No more fish for the guys as they left early ust missing the snow. So heres the round up of how they done on there weeks winter carping. Tony swim 1 -27lb8oz,26lb8oz,27lb8oz,33lb and 34lb. Steve swim 3 - 28lb8oz,31lb and another 31lb. Nick swim 5 - 27lb8oz,30lb,31lb,34lb and 38lb PB. Not bad for winter fishing.

Actor Lee Oakes night sessions We had actor Lee Oakes at Carpquarry doing a couple of night only sessions Nov 2010 and what a result he had. Lee managed to put 6 fish on the bank with the smallest at 28lb up to 35lb with 4 of the fish being over 30lb. Well done Lee you are the first person who has managed to land all there runs. Lee was fishing swim 1 using carpquarry pellet and boilies.

11/10/10 - 16/10/10 Nigel,Graham & Kevin We had Nigel,Graham and Kevin from the south east on a 5 day trip. First blood went to Graham with a original common of 17lb8oz for this Graham won a bottle of wine for catching the smallest king carp ever caught from the lake not that I was taking the mick !!! Nigel was then in again with another small original mirror at 20lb after that the fish got abit bigger with a mirror at 26lb8oz and then with a 30lb4oz. Kevin was not going to be out done by landing another mirror at 26lb8oz and then a mirror at 32lb8oz, Nigel replied with a 32lb8oz mirror and then Kevin with a 30lb mirror. Graham was enoying himself in swim 6 with plenty of runs but not being able to land them as they were taking him straight into snags.

What a session they had 5 fish 30lb plus and also lost a couple, but you know Paul you are not ment to slip fall flat on your back in the rain and hit into the fish and try and play it as you are laying on your back in a puddle LOL. Paul had a 30lb and missed one. Craig had 30lb, 30lb, 33lb and 34lb PB and missed a couple. Thats a good result for just 48 hours fishing. 25/9/10-1/10/10 This week we had Alan and his wife from Dartford in Kent, The weather was all over the place started of hot then the rain came but this didnt stop Alan getting a new PB at 32lb8oz, Well done

This week starting 21st Aug 2010 we had Chris and his wife and grandson Kieran and his girlfriend Megan from Lincolnshire, It was only the two guys fishing what a week they had, it did not stop raining until the day they left which was a shame for the girls but I think they loved it sitting in a warm house watching many episodes of Gavin and Stacey,As for the guys they were soaked all week so it didnt make alot of difference to Chris when he fell in trying to get the baitboat out. As regards the fishing they had 8 fish from mid 20s to just over 30lb once again the bigger fish have kept a low profile someone very soon will have a few big hits
