About Us
We are a family run business,
catering for the carp angler and their family. Fishing in France can sometimes
be daunting the list of potential problems can put the angler and families off,
problems like facilities, language, strange rules, licenses & stories of big
fish that never appear, to name a few. We have experienced them all, so we
decided to cater for the carp angler & their family ourselves.
After a year of searching we
found this lake, which we have re-named Etang du soleil, which translated means
pond of the sun. We offer drive & survive, luxury lake side mobile homes or
you can stay off site at the community lake (10 minute walk away, details can be
found in the area button above. Plans for 2007 season are to have 2 gites on
site with more to follow.
The lake has a maximum of 9 pegs which gives each angler
1.5 acres to fish in. The pegs can be booked in
advance and we will endeavor to grant your request, however they are booked on a
first to book basis. If the peg of your choice is already booked we will
allocate another. This will be confirmed on receipt of your booking form and
deposit. We have also constructed a peg for a disabled angler, as again the
disabled angler has little choice when fishing in France.
Each of us has a minimum
of 15 years carping in both England & France. Using our experience we will
provide a service for you, this may be advice & help on fishing our lake or
where to go or what to do for the family. On site we will have a comprehensive
bait and tackle store offering quality bait from Mainline at competitive prices.
There will be no problem bringing your own but this will have to be quality
checked before you use it. This will ensure our fish are healthy for you &
others to catch. (see the rules page)
