Carp And Cat Fishing in the Dordogne

Carp fishing. No licence needed. Night fishing permitted.

Carp Fishing on our mature 300 year old 12 acre lake. The lake is surrounded by mature oaks and pines and set in the beautiful Dordogne region. The lake has many good swims and is substantially snag-free.

Fish Stock

The lake was emptied in December 1998 to register the carp stock. Over 2000 Kg of carp were confirmed, these were in the range of 3 to 14Kgs. There were other carp in the lake that could not be reached that were perhaps in excess of this.

An additional 600 Kgs of carp were introduced ranging from 6 to 13Kgs. This included two superb Koi carp of 10 and 11+ Kgs. We also put in some Catfish of up to 12 Kgs (they're growing fast!).

If you would like a change or prefer to course fish additional to Carp and Catfish the lake contains many other species. Large Pike , Zander and perch are present. Additionally Large Bream , Roach and Rudd abound in the lake. There are no nuisance species such as poisson chat and crayfish.

Today we estimate that the Carp should be in excess of 20 kg and the Catfish could be anywhere up to 40 kg.
