Carp Fishing France,Carp

When it comes to carp fishing, France is the place to go. If you are looking for one of the nicest carp fisheries in France, you only have to look as far as Etang de Planchon. You can find this small lake located on ten acres of French countryside in the Haute Vienne region. The lake is, on average, five feet deep, and it features a long elongated S-shaped island. Six separate swims surround the lake, and two of them have been designed for double occupancy. These are flat, shored up areas where you can set up a tent or a bivvy. While there are six swims available, only five of them will be used at any one time. This limits the number of people on the lake at one time, which is good for you and for the fish.

You can fish any time day or night, but you are limited to three fishing rods per person. When people reserve time at the lake, they often stay for at least a week, and the available packages are set up for a week of fishing. The All Inclusive Carp Fishing Holiday package includes a full week of fishing from one Saturday to the next. This package only costs £470 per person, and it includes chauffeur service to and from the local airport as well as two meals a day. They also provide all of your tackle except for end tackle. If you are traveling with a group, you might want to consider the Exclusive Lake Hire which costs £1200 total for up to five people. So, if you are traveling with five people, and they all want to do is fish, this is an economical choice. Chauffeur service can be provided with this package. You can also choose to receive meals and tackle for a price.  Shorter breaks can be customised for you individually.

What Can You Catch at Etang de Planchon?

To give you idea of what you might expect to catch at this lake, you can take a look at what the previous anglers have caught, and the staff at Etang de Planchon keep up with just how many fish their visitors catch each week. Carp fishing France is great fun, and you can expect to catch fairly large mirror or common carp from around fifteen to thirty pounds. A few months ago, the staff at the lake stocked the lake with two new fifty pound carp, so they are there as well. If you are the first person to catch one, you can win a free one week All Inclusive fishing holiday.

During the 25th week on the lake (twenty-five weeks since the fishing season started) four people came to fish at Etang de Planchon. The most successful angler, Mack, caught fourteen fish during his stay, and their combined weight was over 300 pounds. Carp are nothing if not feisty, and they provide a challenge for even the most seasoned anglers. The end of the fishing season is fast approaching with just one more month left in the season. However, now is the perfect time to book your trip for next spring. If you are interested in carp fishing France, you should contact Etang de Planchon today.
