Carp Fishing in France at Windmill Lakes

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 45lb+ 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:-

“Food awesome! Only time I’ve put weight on fishing” - Nigel Baker, May 2011

“Food is a must 5*” - Steve Head, Sept 2011

LATEST NEWS

Hi Everyone and Welcome to the 2012 season.

NEW CARP LAKE RECORD ALREADY!!!!

Michael Kennedy landed this stunning 49lb Mirror on Monday (30/04/2012)

Using Crab boilies on a snowman rig. Can’t wait to see what’s coming out next!

The stocks in the Cat Lake have been boosted by another 150 Commons mainly doubles but all beautiful specimens so

plenty to keep you busy when you book this lake.

We were joined by the Dave Steward Party on Saturday (24/03/2012) and in the first 24 hours they had landed 2

twenties and 2 thirties - so a brilliant start to their week and our season. See some of the pictures above.

Over the winter we have been busy building a new bait room/anglers room where the new extra large bait freezer is

now installed, together with a beer fridge (always essential in the summer), tv with satalite receiver and a dart board.

Also, following their very successful visit last October we are proud to announce that we are now working with

“All Seasons Bait Company” who have developed some very high spec baits for our lakes including boilies, dips &

Pop-ups.

The lakeside cabin has been given a facelift over the winter so we’re all set for this season and we look forward to

Welcoming all our guest this year.
