Welcome to Exclusive Carp Venues

If you are thinking of joining us on one of our exclusive carp venues it couldn’t be easier. It is just a case of deciding which one of our 9 special venues you will choose from.

We take care of you, the carp and the venues with limited fishing and numbers of anglers visiting per week. All of our lakes have 2, 3 even 4 acres of fishable water each per angler. Some as much as 8 acres per swim.

One of the venues only has carp fishing for just 12 weeks a year with no angling for the period in-between, almost unique! Some venues we just don’t book out in the summer weeks to rest the carp and bankside. This ethos makes the lakes and the fishing special and should lead to a better and more enjoyable trip.

For us, it is not about just filling swims or lakes for us (nobody wants to on top of each other). It’s about quality carping and discovering France in unspoilt surroundings. We specialise in making your week or holiday just that bit more memorable. Free advice and help with selecting the right lake for your requirements or travel routes and an easy booking procedure. We are always happy to chat and advise on the best times to visit your chosen venue.

Fishing can be done on any of our venues at any time of the year although prime times are early March until the end of November, (3 of our venues allow winter fishing at reduced prices).

We work with two different French fish farmers (both of with have an excellent reputation for big carp) and each own lakes we can offer to you on a lake exclusive hire.

We currently have 9 lovely venues to offer including lakes of up to 6 acres for just 2 anglers and up to 35 acres for 8 anglers. Hopefully soon a stunning 60 acre lake with just 3 zones (15-20 acres per swim!). All the venues are drive and survive and most have facilities to make your week comfortable.
