There were two anglers and one non angler in our group and we had the beautiful chalet overlooking the stunning Kingfisher Lake. Jo meet us at the lake and was very welcoming and showed us around the chalet and made us feel at home right away. Nigel and Jo also gave us a tour of the lake and Nigel provided lots of top tips on hot spots and baits.
We were very impressed with the tackle we hired with it all being top quality tackle and in excellent condition. We had chosen to use the bait rolled by Nigel and again this was a very high quality bait with lots of hook bait options such as hard hookers, wafters and pop ups. The particles and pellets were great too.
The fishing was brilliant and I was very pleased to beat by my carp PB with a stunning 45lb 6oz carp and beat my catfish PB with a 78lb 10oz monster. I also caught some other stunning carp and catfish throughout the week with all the fish in excellent condition.
The other angler in the party unfortunately had a medical emergency part way through the week which required an ambulance being called and a trip to the local hospital. We cannot thank Jo and Nigel enough for their help with this. Jo and Nigel went above and beyond helping with several trips to the hospital and also providing translation, with Jo doing an amazing job at talking in French to the emergency services, paramedics and hospital staff. No words can show our appreciation for both of their help during this difficult time.
Due to the medical emergency the other angler was not able to fish as much as they would have liked to during the week but still managed to catch a couple of beautiful 30lb plus carp during their limited fishing time.
Jo and Nigel also picked us up some very tasty baguettes, croissants and cakes from the local bakery throughout the week. Jo also took us on a second trip to the supermarket to stock up on food and drinks for the second half of the week and Nigel also kindly took us to the local pub for some delicious fish and chips and joined us for a nice cold pint too.
Overall we had a brilliant time and were very impressed with the chalet, the lake, the fish, the countryside and of course the amazing hosting from Jo and Nigel. We would highly recommend Carp France to any anglers (and non anglers) and can’t wait to return in the future. Thank you again from Natty, Mason and Gordon.
Had a fantastic time at Carp France Fishing! The lake and surroundings are absolutely beautiful – so peaceful and well-kept. Jo and Nigel were brilliant hosts, so welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The lodge was cosy and comfortable, making the trip even more enjoyable. We both beat our PB’s which made it extra special. Can’t wait to come back again – highly recommended!

I can recommend Carp Franc Fishing if you are after a peaceful week away in beautiful surroundings.
We have just returned from an amazing week at Carp France Fishing. We stayed in the chalet on beautiful Kingfisher Lake. The lake itself is stunning, so pretty and peaceful with an abundance of wildlife. The chalet is lovely, clean and comfortable and very well equipped with everything you need. The plunge pool is a god send in hot weather.
The fishing was fantastic! There are some lovely good sized fish in the lake and we managed to land 25 carp and 2 catfish despite the weather being very hot.
There is also so much to see and do in the surrounding area so is perfect for families and adds a bit of variety to the holiday.
Nigel and Jo are the perfect hosts, going above and beyond to ensure that guests have a fantastic experience. Breakfast is amazing, either a full English at the house or breakfast baguettes delivered to your swim.
Admittedly, this was our first lake exclusive holiday but I am confident that you would be hard pushed to be better looked after anywhere else and the location is perfect.
Thank you Nigel and Jo for a wonderful week and we can't wait to come back next year.

From the moment we arrived we was met with a warm welcome from Jo & Nigel and Maisie once we had all introduced our selfs over a cold beer it was time to have a look and walk round our home for the week that is called kingfisher lake a beautiful 7 acre lake that never once disappointed
Both Jo & Nigel have definitely got what only people could ever dream about it’s just stunning and what a week we have had there
There was 5 anglers in our party and plenty of room for everyone to fish comfortably but also keeping a social life with your mates
Jo & Nigel make sure you have everything and everyone is enjoying their time at carp France with Maisie always wagging her tail but who could not be happy there it’s what going to France carp fishing is all about
The facilities were excellent fully equipped lodge with everything you have at home and more
All round superb Jo & Nigel keep doing what your doing and Maisie next year I will bring more treats and a few balls thanks for letting us share your home and until next year take care and all the best Andy and his merry men
Ps … there definitely room on the wall for a photo of my 48 & half mirror lol thanks again
Nigel and Jo are great hosts, Nigel helping us set up and giving some great hints and tips and Jo with a great breakfast to start each day and occasionally picking up supply’s from bakery and supermarket and organising the visit to local vets for Opal’s tablet for return to England.
The fish we caught were perfect, healthy and beautiful, of the 13 we caught, the biggest two were Harry’s Common at 39lb 3oz and my (Rob) 38lb 3oz, Opal loved roaming freely around the lake, and just laying about taking it all in. After a great week, with great company and great fish we didn’t want to leave, Jo had made us a goody bag for the trip home which was much appreciated. Having not quite reached the 40s and 50s, we have unfinished business on Lac Lucie and will definitely be back in 2026. Nigel Jo and Maisie, thanks again for a brilliant week.
We Shall Be Back 👍🏻
We had a fantastic time and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys tranquility and a beautiful view and plenty of carp in their landing net.
A nice spread of boilies keeps them coming.

King Fisher Lake was idolic and peaceful which we needed .
For me as a lady I loved the swimming pool and I loved first time fishing 🎣 and sleeping in the bivvy 2 nights you have the best of both worlds with the chalet .
We had breakfast every morning with Nigel and Jo and Maisie the dog .
Jo and Nigel are great hosts with lots of knowledge.
At the end of the day I was wanting that Fishing experience and I got everything.

The daily catch up with the visit of Maisie was very appreciated along with the hints and tips.
Many thanks ‘The Calendar Boys’






The facilities were just what we needed, especially the dip pool and hot tub as the weather got warmer through the week.
The home cooked food was delicious.
Thank you Jo, Nigel and Maisie, we look forward to seeing you again next year.

The lodge was good ,nice size bedrooms plenty of utility's .
The weather was against use big time but 16 fish nice size in very very good condition, the lake we think is the prettiest lake we have been to , and that is over the last 10 Yrs .
Just like to say all the best in your venture. Terry Holt

Cray fish are present in the lake - but they didn't cause us much trouble. Using plastics or wrapping your hookbaits gets round them. Conscious efforts are being taken to reduce their presence in the lakes - and the overall life Nigel is breathing into the lakes is really promising. He was able to give us great advice on how to approach the lake that lead all 3 of us to multiple captures.
The venue is perfectly suited to experienced anglers looking for social and enjoyable fishing - aswell as less experienced anglers looking for a challenge with great guidance.

3 of us visited carp France lac Lucie last week me my son and a mate. I cannot recommend this place enough tha hosts Jo & Nigel were great,up for a laugh and if you take the food package you won’t be disappointed. We had the breakfast & evening meal package. Beautiful lakes and quiet. The fishing was great with 2 pbs broken. 27 nice fish landed biggest 45lb plenty of 20s & 30s & 2 over 40lb. Nothing was any trouble for Joe & Nigel to sort out for us. The cabin,pool & hot tub was great for a bit of a rest away from fishing. We will be back again. Thanks Barry.

2 September 2024We visited Lac Lucie for a week in August. My partner and Son although had done some fishing in the UK had never carp fished before. With encouragement and guidance from Nigel they had the best experience ever!! Catching 10 fish between them and not fishing every day or night fishing was an amazing achievement for them, they have definitely now caught the bug!!! Jo and Nigel could not do enough for us and were amazing hosts they went above and beyond to make our stay a magical one. The chalet is amazing and accommodates all your needs for a very comfortable stay!! If you fewl like a day off feom.the Lakea there are also amaz2ong local places to visit! There aren't enough words too describe how this place makes you feel. Special memories made for life and we will definitely be back!! Thank you is not enough 🥰

19 August 2024Investing on Real Estate and Cryptocurrency has been my best decision ever, I have been seeing so many positive reviews here on Facebook, on how people are getting paid through cryptocurrency, I saw so many brokers online to choose from but there was a particular recommendation I saw about Mr. Killian Bayer, how his trading platform is helping a lot of people, I contacted him and invested $2000 after a week I got a huge profit back directly into my bitcoin wallet to my greatest surprise I didn't pay for any charges fee, this is the most lucrative business I've ever invested on it's reliable, genuine and easy. Contact Mr. Killian Bayer to know how it works. when it comes to Cryptocurrency & Forex trading Mr. Killian Bayer still the best i can recommend. You can contact him via WhatsApp: +1 707-654-4150 Email: killianbayer704@gmail.com Facebook: Killian Bayer
