Is it Lac de Beaute near Le Mans ? (Paula & Alex's lake).

If so, it's a very small, shallow & intimate water of about 3-4 acres with 5 swims.

Peg 1 is very shallow only a couple of feet deep, with mainly smaller carp and visited at night by the catfish.

Peg 2 is simular to peg 1 but a little deeper at about 3' , mainly smaller carp but cats were caught at night on a surfaced fished livebaits( this swim produced the then lake record cat at 61lb + on our visit).

Peg 3 gets to about 4 feet deep with better stamp of carp being caught here on our trip, also some cats to 40lb + & sturgeon.

Peg 4 which i fished produced carp to 25+, cats to 31+ and sturgeon to 26+ and is 4-5' deep.

Peg 5 is the same depth as peg 4 & gave carp to mid 20's, cats to 40+ and Sturgeon to over 25.

 

Most if not all the Carp and Sturgeon came from a little gully which goes from an outlet pipe that sticks up in peg 5 all the way across to peg 3.

The cats were mostly taken from this gully and back to the far bank, also off the top at night. Nearside margins saw 0 fish caught from 12 rods over the week.

Baits. Anything we put on caught fish but big Halibut pellets did very well with pva bags , sticks or by using the onsite row boats to bait up (which we did each evening).

Do not pile it in. It is a small water and it's not needed. i'd recomend about 2 kilos of pellets and 1 kilo of boilies at dusk, then just use pva bags etc. during the day or fire some stuff out with the catty ( i fired about 30 boilies and pellets out after every fish - little and often !!!
