UK Fisherman

This is a great opportunity to fish for Carp in a tranquil private location in France.

Top Lake:



The Top Lake is fishable around nearly all of it's banks and at 2 acres plus in size, this represents some great fishing. It is also 16 feet deep and stocked with plenty of good sized carp. The fish are in tip top condition and regularly fed to keep their weight up, but this doesn't stop them putting up a great fight. Hook into one of these beauties and you can bet you are up for a fight you won't forget in a hurry!

Bottom Lake:



Simply a beautiful lake to fish. It is also over 2 acres in size and stocked with large Carp, Tench to 6 lbs plus, Pike to 25 lbs plus, Roach, Rudd and Catfish - need we say more? There is ample camping ground around this lake on flat areas, with suitable barbecue areas for your use, but please be mindful of the danger of forest fires in the summer months.

Fishing all year round:
The lakes at Winsome Waters are fishable all year round, with great catches being made throughout every season of the year. In fact, it seems that as the air pressure drops the fish begin to feed more readily and this of course means the bigger fish as well as the not so big. But hey, a 20lb fish is still great fun to catch, especially when they are active!

There are a few rules which we would like you to abide by as you fish with us:

We are sorry but we cannot let you bring your own landing nets or weighmats - as you are probably aware this is the single main cause of fish diseases spreading between fisheries... so please take a look at our pricing page to see how reasonable we are in the hiring of all the equipment you are likely to need during your fishing break with us.  

Careful handling of the fish:

We insist that you treat our fish with respect - don't keep them out of the water for too long - get your cameras set up ready beforehand - and return them to the water gently - but we know you will anyway.

The site:

We would also ask you to treat the Winsome Waters site with due respect - don't leave litter lying around or cause damage to the surrounding woodlands etc - obvious stuff really, but just something worth reminding you about as we will look forward to being able to welcome you back! 

Rules & Regulations:

• Max 3 rods per angler.
• Large Unhooking mats must be used at all times.
• Fish are to be returned to the water as soon as possible.
• The use of sacks / keep nets is strictly forbidden.
• No litter of any type - store it up and we will collect it from you
• Noise should be kept to a minimum.
• Absolutely No Swimming.
• No open fires, though you may barbeque (There are strict local rules regarding this - forest fire hazzard etc...) please ask Dave for advice on this, once on site.
• Respect the countryside around you, do not damage vegetation etc.
• There are no restrictions on bait but any particles to be used must be purchased from us.
• Bait boats are allowed. The boating of your rigs is forbidden; you must cast your baits out. Respect your fellow anglers.
• We do not allow dogs, sorry.
• Safety rigs to be used at all times. No lead core, microbarb or barbless hooks.
• And lastly, please handle our fish carefully - no standing up when they are photographed with you - terra firma is a long way from homo erectus... a long way to fall!
