Lac de Laneuville is quickly establishing itself as a standout destination for big carp fishing in France, with a carefully managed and continually improving stock.

The lake holds an impressive head of carp, including Common carp to 59lb 12oz and Mirror carp to 43lb 12oz, with multiple fish already exceeding the 40lb mark. These are powerful, hard-fighting fish in excellent condition, offering anglers a genuine opportunity to land a new PB.

Significant stocking has further strengthened the lake’s potential, with over 100 carp introduced ranging from 10lb to 40lb. These fish have been selected for both their visual appeal and long-term growth, ensuring the lake continues to develop into a premier specimen carp fishing venue.

Backed by a consistent feeding programme and excellent water quality, the stock is thriving. Early results have already produced multiple 40lb+ captures, along with a steady run of 20s and 30s, highlighting both the depth and quality of fishing on offer.

With a growing population of specimen fish and proven results each season, every session here offers the chance of something special.
Lac de Laneuville operates a controlled bait policy to protect fish health and maintain consistent results for all anglers.

All particles must be purchased on-site (hemp and maize available)
Only freezer boilies are permitted
Shelf-life boilies are strictly not allowed
On-site boilies available in proven fishmeal and nut-based options
Bait used is consistent with the lake’s feeding programme

This approach ensures the fish remain in top condition and respond confidently to bait, giving anglers the best possible chance of success.

For anglers travelling from the UK, the on-site bait service makes preparation simple and hassle-free, allowing you to arrive ready to fish without the need to transport large quantities of bait.
