We have just returned from an amazing (and very eventful) weeks fishing at Carp France Fishing. We had chose to fly to Limoges and use the tackle hire option. We were greeted by Nigel at the airport who was very friendly and knowledgeable and drove us and all our luggage to the lake. Nigel also took us via the supermarket on the way to stock up on food, beers and wine for the first few days. 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.

After being scammed with our deposit we will not be returning or would not recommend..

Just back from a great week fishing. I would highly recommend the lake if you are looking to relax where the only sounds you will hear are birds singing or fish crashing. There is a good head of fish with some great common carp over 50lb Nigel is a super star having taken over the lake 2 years ago, well maintained very helpful you can see the hard work and improvements he has made and always on hand for advice. We are experiencing carpers but I bet would be perfect for first time visitors to France . Thanks to his wife what’s her face 🤔 only kidding Jo 😂 she kindly brought as fresh croissants to our swims every morning a great way to start the day. We enjoyed a good chat and a beer or two over the week. If you can through a hall Maisie 🐶 will be your friend for the week. We fished king fisher 2 years ago, this time fished lucie both very different lakes and we are booked to return next year. At night with a clear sky the stars are amazing as it’s a dark area. Accommodation was clean well equipped and very comfortable, I struggled to get out of bed much before 8am between the 2 of us we had 23 fish weather was a bit up and down so a couple of slow days I had a PB common 41lbs and my mate had a PB common 51lbs
