WELCOME TO WINDMILL LAKES
There are 2 four acre lakes at Windmill situated between the historical cities of Laval and Le Mans, just 2½ to 4½ hrs from the ports of Caen and Calais.
The dedicated Carp Lake has Mirrors, Commons and Grass Carp to 49lb and the Catfish Lake combines a “runs” water with the adventure of big Catfish to 94lb+ and counting.
The lakes were dug approximately 25 years ago and are surrounded by a plantation of poplar trees, completely secluded from outside distractions. We have no roads, trains or industrial units anywhere near the lakes, so apart from the occasional tractor there is total peace and tranquillity.
We have an lakeside Alpine Chalet situated just 15 metres from the banks of the Carp Lake, so you can enjoy the beautiful views of the whole venue whilst enjoying a beer on the veranda. More info...
There is an English style shower and toilet, with hot and cold running water, adjacent to the main house which is available 24/7, also a fridge and bait freezer are on site for your use.
Here are just a few comments from our anglers about the food package on offer:-
“The food and hospitality were brilliant” -
“5* food” -
“Food package was brilliant, thank you Sue” -
LATEST NEWS
Hi
What a start to the season, John Brinkman was here with Terry Ingram on the Carp Lake for the opening
session and managed to land 4 forties in the week, with 5 thirties and 2 twenties. Not a bad week in anyone’s
book. We also had a group of 3 on the Cat Lake for the week and they had a grand total of 50+ fish between
Them. The weather was really cold with some sleet and rain thrown in to keep everyone on their (frozen) toes.
To book your fishing trip just drop us a line to check for availability.

Gone fishing...
The new bait room proved very popular last season especially with
the weather being the wettest we’ve known since being in France.
Having somewhere to go to chill out with a beer in the warm & dry was a great bonus.
