Etang La Planchette

[haitch20]

Hi All

 

I came across a site the other day and was hoping that someone had some info on it . The lakes name is Etang La Planchette and what i can make out is that it is a new lake opening next year or is it a lake that has be taken over by a new owner and just been renamed . Please any info would be helpful as we would like to book it for next year cheers

Hi M8. Yes, this is a new lake on the scene. Originally 2 acres in size, it has just recently been dug out to about 7 acres. It has an English owner, who stocked it with about 100 carp between 20lb-38lb, plus a sturgeon and a few grass carp. Not really a place for the experienced French carper in my opinion.

Hi mate first let me tell you this is a new lake,not one with a name change.I was asked by a mate of a mate to go fish this lake in november 08 with two others.IT is about eight and half acre lake wwith picturesque surroundings.I fished from friday afternoon till sunday morning we had 18 fish out up to 29lb.The lake has been stocked with over 100 new fish +the additional stock with carp u to 50lb.Food was excellent,in my opinion it is well worth a look at (CHECK OUT THE WEB SITE)see some of the beautiful fish.Ive booked to go back in july 09 . Hope this helps.

Hello mate,I was one of the three musketeers invited down to this lake in Oct/Nov 2008. I had met the owner on a previous french fishing trip.The lake is a new lake that has never been run as a commercial fishery,and therefore no stock record was available.However i know for a fact that the owner (Vince),fished the lake for 8 days after buying the property in spring 2008 whereupon he banked 12 carp from 18lb to 34lb most of which he photographed and put on his website (www.etanglaplanchette.com).That is all the info available on original stock,as he was unable to net the lake due to the existing islands and snags.He has since added 114 carp between 20-39lb,8 40lb+ fish,5 nice sturgeon,3 blue carp and a few nice Grassies.This however doesn,t conclude their stocking,as they are awaiting the arrival of a couple of 50,s to tempt the big fish hunters.I would say the lake is about 8 acres in size ,and has 8 spacious swims to choose from.Anyway,back to my weekends fishing.I caught 14 carp in 2 days between 20-31lb,every fish was in mint condition,and all gave a good account of themselves. On the strength of that short trip i,ve booked the whole lake for opening week to try and snare some of the larger residents ,i fancy the 44lb 6oz common.

Vince and Tina the Owners made us extremely welcome,and we were fed to bursting point by Tina. To summarise this is a lovely place to spend a weeks fishing,irrespective of your experience.in the company of nice and friendly people and most importantly a realistic chance of an impressive catch report. I hope this helps you make your decision on where to fish.

Hi mate

 

myself and 5 other's have the lake booked for a week,if you take the time out to phone vince he will give you any information you need to know, a really helpful fella.and i'm told to expect to come back a few pound heavier than when I went,apparently tina's meal's are the dog's.

what nicnac has posted is spot on,haitch are you driving yourself or getting bus from billericay,even the guy's at the tackle shop could give you a lot of information if you need it.

hope this help's in someway.
