Periwinkle Lake

Periwinkle Lake

Tucked away in the picturesque Normandy countryside, Periwinkle Lake is a private, 2.5-acre estate-style fishery, home to specimen carp weighing over 60lb.

For those seeking a peaceful rural getaway, surrounded by farmland and thriving wildlife, with the opportunity to catch stunning carp, Periwinkle Lake offers the perfect escape.

Our exclusive lake provides a distinctive fishing experience from a central island, easily reached via a wooden footbridge, accommodating up to three anglers at a time. On the island, you’ll find two swims — a double and a single — plus an additional daytime-only swim located on the mainland.

All swims are set on hard-standing bases and connected by a gravel footpath to the facilities cabin, ensuring you stay clean and mud-free, whatever the weather brings.

Covering 2.5 acres, Periwinkle Lake is naturally fed through a filtration system, maintaining pristine water quality. The clay-lined lakebed is rich in features, with depths ranging from 3 to 6 feet, and a fascinating mix of plateaus, gullies, and underwater structure.

Fish welfare and the natural environment are at the heart of everything we do. Controlled weed growth is encouraged in the lake, providing oxygen, natural food, and sanctuary for the carp. The weed supports an abundance of aquatic life, which in turn promotes healthy growth and thriving fish stocks. Landing one of Periwinkle’s big carp requires skill, patience, and a thoughtful approach to the water’s varied features.

While some anglers may worry about weed, it should be embraced. With the right tactics, it can significantly improve your chances — where there’s weed, there’s carp! We provide an on-site guide, Top Tips for Fishing in Weed, to help you adapt your methods, and Mike is always nearby to offer advice and share his expertise.

Periwinkle Lake is no runs water. It’s ideally suited to intermediate and experienced anglers ready for a rewarding challenge. Expect powerful, healthy fish that will put your skills — and your gear — to the test.

Beyond the lake, Periwinkle is ideally positioned for exploring Normandy’s rich history. For non-angling guests or those wanting a break from fishing, the medieval castle of Domfront is just a 10-minute drive away, while the breathtaking Mont St Michel and coastal areas can be reached in under an hour by car.
