Le Chene Vert - Carp fishing in South West FranceDescription:If you are looking for a carp fishing venue with something to offer everyone then why not stay at Le Chene Vert. Our 5 acre carp lake is set in 5 acres of private parkland and woods. The lake is stocked with mirror carp and common carp to 45lbs and is ideal for both experienced and novice anglers, while our facilities make it an excellent choice for families, and mixed groups.

Stock:The lake is fed by 3 springs which ensures a constant level and excellent water quality all year round. The bottom is made up of sand and clay and has a layer of leaf mulch, grass carp ensure we have no weeds to cause snags.

The average depth is 2m, though this shallows out to 1m around some of the margins providing a shelf where the carp like to cruise, and deepens to 3 1/2m in 2 large holes towards the centre. Several old oak trees on the banks provide cover without impeding the fishing while natural contours in the bank provide ideal features to fish to.

This winter we are working on digging in a new swim at the top end of the lake which will open up a previously inaccessible area of the lake giving our anglers a greater choice. The lake is limited to 6 anglers with a choice of 8 swims 2 of which are doubles.

The lake was stocked in 2006 with carp to 40lb, and from what we have seen of these over the last year they certainly seem to be piling on the pounds.

We have a high percentage of mirrors and commons in the mid to high 20’s, with a good stock of 30lb +. All of our guests have commented on the colours and quality of the carp they have caught not to mention their good fighting ability!

We also have roach, chub, perch, grass carp and tench and most importantly no poisson chats!

Facilities:Le Chene Vert is a drive and survive venue and welcomes both anglers and non-angling guests. Children under 12 are also welcome on exclusive lake hire.

Our facilities include a 6 berth bunk chalet (16m sq) for those not wishing to bivvy up, English toilet and shower, large covered “Abri” for cooking, washing up and dining, (with power point and drinking water). You will also find a fridge and freezer for bait and grocery storage. Around the grounds you will also find barbeque facilities with picnic benches, large floodlit multi use sports pitch for 5 a side, badminton and volley ball. You are also welcome to use our 8m swimming pool (subject to season).

The Abri and toilet/shower facilities are approx 2 minutes walk from the furthest swim.

There is a secure hard standing car parking for 6 vehicles and vehicle lake side access for 4 of the swims.

The surrounding area has much to offer in the way of attractions and shopping facilities. The nearest bar and restaurant are less than 10 minutes walk from the gates. The restaurant comes highly recommended and can also offer bed and breakfast accommodation.

Bread and groceries can be bought in one of the nerby villages (approx 5 km ), and there is a pizza takeaway aprrox 5 minutes drive.
