andyshot Posted July 18, 2010 Report Share Posted July 18, 2010 just back from my first ever trip 2 a french carp lake.great place,lake nice size(13acres)carp 2 over 70lb,not much under 20lb,but sadly i blanked!Why,i don't know.Lake is called 'Val Dore'90mins from calais.They have 5 lakes on the complex so was wondering if anyone knows of something else in france with this kind of fish.Prefably with just 2/3 lakes with big fish,and not 2 small.I have a theroy why i possibly blanked,they had a match on this lake prior 2 my arrival(2wk ago),and all the bait that was left over was thrown in also have gud information that the amount was in the region of a ton!!!! I think the owner should have been warned of this.Never mind thats carp fishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarfbar1 Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Andy, Here's a tip. Generally you need to travel some way down to fish quality lakes as the ones within 2 hrs of Calais have been hammered by weekend carpers. I have done a bit of fishing in France and can recommend one decent lake at Azat Chatenet run by James. Its a 5 acre lake with so much quality and a good head of carp and cats. He and his family are the business and if you want help you'll get it and if you want to be left alone you get that too. What more can I say......
