We purchased this particular lake at the same time as lac desire march 2006, but lac desire needed much cleaning up work to be carried out then 18 months later our own personal accommodation before we could open the gates to the public. Therefore this little gem has almost been put on hold, but at the same time it needed very little work to be done to its 12 acres of land and wooded areas as we purchased this from our local Marie who cared for this like his garden. The lake is 6.0 acres in size, depths ranging from 4ft gravel bars to 10ft silt gulleys, with an average across most of the lakes natural gravel bottom of 7ft, all the margins are tree lined with variety of different trees, forming some very carpy areas to drop a hook bait or even some stalking, The grounds are fenced where necessary with a coded lockable gate as you enter and a gravel track leading to the car parking and toilet area, then to the rear of the property there's a stunning stream that runs adjacent with our boundary
Over the past three years the lake has seen very little angling pressure, literally only a had full of mainly cat anglers.


We have created 6 natural swims between openings of the trees with 4 of these on one bank all within 50 yards of each other with approximately 1 1/2 acres of water for each angler. Creating the perfect intimate social holiday with family or friends with the full use of a 4 berth caravan, car park & toilet also only yards away, the other 2 swims are located on either side of the lake for those preferring a little more privacy. If you choose to fish pegs 5 or 6 your tackle would have to be walked around, approximately 80 yards each way from the parking area.


We originally stocked the lake back in 2006 with 70 carp from 8kg to12 kg all hand picked and some very large cats, we have since netted the lake in December 2008) and removed all the cats plus over populated silver fish, then added a further 45 hand picked stunning mirrors & commons from 10kg to 18kg creating a perfect carp water.
