Lac de lion is a 5 acre spring fed lake nestled in a wooded valley with five known 60s to 66.4lb, with plenty of 50s and a good head of 40s and 30s, including mirrors commons koi and grass carp.
Due to the microchipping programme started in 2020, we have been chipping as many over 30lb fish as possible, we can now follow the growth rates and see the weight gains year on year.
Located on the Dordogne/ Haute Vienne border, this region of France is known for its warm summers and mild spring and autumn, Lac de Lion is surrounded by oak, beech and pine trees, situated a kilometre down its own track and over a mile from the nearest house which ensures you will have peace and quiet for your weeks fishing. Lac de lion has been owned by Paul and Debs since 2003 and was stocked with over 120 carp to supplement the existing carp stock in 2004 and only fished occasionally until 2020 when we first advertised it as a commercial fishery.
The lake is unfished over the winter ensuring the carp are in their prime at the start of each season resulting in large hard fighting fish you will want to catch. With angler feed back telling us they have never fished a lake where the 40″s and 50″s are caught so frequently with many catching their first 50 after many trips to other lakes (with the lake record mirror caught in July 2024 at 66.04lb and a further 4 different 60s coming out since 2022. We have had one angler catch all five 60s( over several trips) so could you be the next one.
There is a good head of common carp in the lake, with plenty of upper 30s and 40s being caught. The lake record common is a 48lb common. this was unchipped, so there are probably more surprises to come.
