Welcome to Etang de Beynac, exclusive and individual Lake Carp fishing holidays for the discerning Carp angler.

Phil and Erica invite you to fish our mature 300 year old 12 acre Carp lake set on our 120 acre private estate.  The Carp Lake is an old gravel pit with many features. Depths range  from 15 feet. Overhanging trees, reeds, weeds and stream beds are to be found. The bottom is mostly gravel  with silty areas, a truly ideal and natural habitat for carp and water life. The lake is outstanding, being surrounded by mature oaks and pines; you really are in the wilderness. Wildlife abounds, there are many deer and other animals. The birdsong during the day and the Frog chorus in the night is spectacular. This truly is a place for you to unwind and relax.  Privacy , peace and tranquility interrupted by screaming runs are what to expect. We wish for you to enjoy your holiday as much as we love to live here. We welcome you to come for your best ever carp fishing holiday which we are passionate at providing for you.

This part of the Aquitaine region in the Dordogne is largely a Regional park and renowned for some of the most spectacular scenery in France. This is how England used to be 50 years ago, come and experience it for yourself, you’ll love it.
This is truly a water to cater for all anglers at all levels, you will definitely not get bored with the carp fishing or the scenery, all I can say is that a week is never enough, its that addictive.
We provide for your convenience Internet, washing machine, large refrigerator, shower and toilet facilities plus barbeque, coolers and Ice packs.

There are 11 swims for a maximum of 8 anglers  which gives you plenty of choice. Due to being very reasonably priced for 4 or even 2 anglers good catch rates are more attainable.

Fish Stock

The lake had not been emptied since Dec 1998 and so long overdue lake maintenance and fish management was deemed necessary.

We emptied the lake in Nov 2008 to register the Carp stock. All of the unwanted Carp and Catfish were removed, including all of the Bream and most of the silverfish. Most of the Pike, Zander and all Perch were also removed leaving enough to control the smaller fish population.

A stocking in Dec 2007 we added 500kg of mostly mirror Carp of exceptional quality. To complement this we have added a further stocking in Nov 2008 of 1500 kg of common Carp with a few mirrors and Linear's. All of these fish are the beautiful Royal strain of Carp, absolutely stunning and fast growing and of perfect health.

We look forward to much improved growth rates with a much reduced biomass. This strain of Carp can put on over 4kg in a year. The carp range from 4kg - 13kg. They may not be the largest Carp but they are definitely some of the most beautiful available in France. We don't over exaggerate our claims as many commercial venues do. If anything we have underestimated our stock.

During the vidange we have managed to remove over 5 tons of debris from the lake thus reducing snagged fish. We are passionate about the welfare and condition of the fish plus you can now fish with confidence of less lost fish plus confidence in your baiting.

If you wish to fish in a beautiful setting for gorgeous fish then this is the place for you all at a very affordable price.

There are no nuisance species such as poisson chat and crayfish.
