Les Croix is one of a very few carp lakes in France managed by a UK qualified fisheries professional with many years experience in the National Rivers Authority and Environment Agency. We also take advice from a local French consultant. The venue is correctly stocked and managed, thus you will be fishing more than just another French Carp Lake.
Our carp are exceptional fish and have been hand picked from the stocks of a French family run fish farming business, in an area of France renowned for the stunning appearance and strength of the carp. Several of the carp gained 9lbs in weight in the first 6 months after stocking, and most of the carp have put on 10lbs in the first year ! The lake is spring fed with superb high quality water and thus has an abundance of natural food for the carp including a lot of bloodworm, caddis larvae and snails, and they also receive extra nourishment from the protein in the pellets that we feed at various times in the year. For me, the angling environment, the look of the fish and their fighting qualities are at the top of my list. This is reflected in our stocking policy, choosing stunning, strong, young fish which will rapidly grow to a large size, rather than buying over priced large carp and then charging a small fortune to fish for them ! The carp at Les Croix are some of the best looking fish you are likely to see in France with a good number of scaley fish, and they fight like demons !
Obviously you want to be in with a chance of some big fish, and we have a good number of thirties with to over 40lb present. The population of carp is around 150, a total biomass of around 2 tonnes, which provides for excellent sport, and with some stunning specimens in the lake, there is a very good chance of something to remember during your trip.
