Location & Stock
Carpediem Angling brings you to the heart of the
Champagne-Ardennes region of France, close to the picturesque
village of Robert Magny. Surrounded on all sides by forest
(including Hazel, Aspen, Common Beech, Colorado Spruce and Sessile
Oak with margins fringed with Sallow) the 22
acre estate comprises of two lakes - the Main Lake of 17 acres and a
small stock lake of approximately 3/4 acres.
The Main Lake is stocked with 500 plus Mirror / Common / Leather and Grass Carp of 20lb, 30lb, 40lb, 50lbs - with larger carp (at least 7) up to 70lbs. There are two Cats - one over 150lbs. There are also Pike to 25lbs, Tench, Roach and Rudd providing a well balanced fishery. The small lake is teeming with small carp up to 12lbs which can be fished for using float tackle should you so wish.
Swims & Fishing
Nineteen swims have been prepared, including five doubles and two suitable for disabled access. The maximum number of anglers per week is restricted and we try to keep the numbers around twelve where possible, depending on demand. This will provide anglers with the opportunity to move swims should they wish to do so. Night fishing is allowed and no permits are required.
Radio controlled Bait Boats are welcome (please see our Fishery Rules for more information). We have bait boats for hire at the lake. Inflatable boats, other types of personal craft and individual use of the lake boat are not permitted for insurance reasons. We provide a boat service for tackle delivery and collection to the far bank. During daylight hours hours, carpet and spot baiting can be undertaken by Mark as as requested.
Weighing Scales
The Carp in our main lake are showing sustained weight gains year
on year. Please ensure that you bring weighing scales with you that
are able to handle fish of the weights illustrated. Mark will insist
that you have these readily available all the time so that you do
not have to dig around in your luggage to find them when you need
them. The Health & Safety of the Carp on the bank is top priority.
