We have 2 lakes here offering the best of both worlds for fishing in France. There is the Carp Lake, featuring specimen Mirrors up to 59lb 2oz, Commons reaching 40lb, and Grass Carp that weigh up to 50lb 4oz. Then we have the Cat Lake, home to hundreds of carp over 25lb, making it a true 'runs' water, plus Catfish that can grow up to an impressive 120lbs!

Welcome to 2026 at Windmill Lakes, France.
We had another exciting season in 2025 with most weeks landing a 50 and almost every week seeing new PB's broken several times over!!
The work carried out on the Carp Lake has been very successful with no problems regarding water levels, and the fish were healthy, active, and fighting well all year.
Over this winter, the top of the Cat Lake was dug out, creating a new smaller lake up there, which Dave has exciting plans for.........watch this space!!
However, don't worry; the big Cats are still in residence, waiting for the monster fish hunter to descend this season.
The food package was a success again, with everyone raving about the desserts in particular.
Looking forward to welcoming back old friends and showing new guests why they come back every year for fantastic fishing in France.
