The Lake

Lac les Pins is set amongst Pine Trees in a most stunning and idyllic location, where you will be able to enjoy the tranquility and relaxation it offers. We acquired the lake from the French owner at the end of 2003. The lake is in a very secluded location, but you may spot a deer at sunrise and sunset, visiting and drinking from the lake. We have yet to see a wild boar, they are possibly hiding in the surrounding enclosed mature woodland, but there is plenty of other wildlife around to give that added feel of getting back to nature.

Our 12 Acre lake, with depths that run from 5ft - 15ft is stream fed, so there is no need to worry about these depths diminishing. The water quality is superb, with plenty of natural food resources, although we have been supplementing our fish with other nutrients in order to increase their growth.

There are 5 different specimens of Carp in the lake, many beautifully scaled, including full Linears, as well as some stunning Commons. These range from 25lbs to 55lbs, and most were in excess of 30lbs to 38lbs when newly stocked in 2004.

We have continued our stocking programme by introducing in excess of 200 Carp (Mirrors and Commons) into the lake and stock pond.

We rest our waters during the Winter months from November until April, in order to feed our carp nutrients, to de-stress, them and make sure they are all in superb condition for reopening at the start of the Season. Up to now the growth rate has been phenomenal.

The swims are accessible from all sides, but we have decided not to permit more than six anglers on at any one time, in order to allow our fishermen the maximum scope and manoeuvrability.

There is also a 1 1/4 acre stock pond which has been excavated to a depth of 5-8' in order for us to produce our own stock fish in the future.
