Fishing
The site has two lakes (obviously) simply called top lake and bottom lake. Top lake being excavated around 2000 so is still bright with a yellow clay bottom.
Tackle is available if you forget yours (or don’t have any) just ask San or Garry, last visit in 2009 we taught a young lad how to catch carp his first fish was 11 lb and his second was 27 lb also no French licence needed as it’s private water
You can fish wherever you want for a small charge, daytime only.
BARBLESS hooks is the only rule (I’d add LARGE hooks and not under 15lb line for Carp)
Species to catch Carp (Common and Mirror in both lakes) Roach and this year some Perch are showing there is also the usual French nuisance fish the Pumpkinseed and a few Eels
Record in 2008 was 38 lb for a Mirror Carp, for 2009 40 lb
Best bait floating French crust but boilies and Sweetcorn work well too as does Cat food occasionally since I first wrote this Nase and Perch have been caught too
Early 2010 visit fishing top lake broken off when fishing 18lb straight through -
The site has a few static caravan's but is mostly for touring van's and tents and increased touring pitches for 2008 . Toilet/shower facilities cleaned twice a day a new large toilet block has been built at the begriming of 2009). WiFi was added for the 2009 season at a small cost. Small swimming pool and kiddies pool in season with sunbathing area.
Bar serves only wine and beer due to local licensing laws The Areas speciality Pineau is available too – you’ve got to try it.. Food can be available on request as are English snacks which the French campers apparently love.
No Charcoal BBQ
