Etang
le Rocher is a beautiful 100 year old French estate lake
set as said before. This is no drive and survive holiday, every
thing is laid on, after your arrival via our mini bus, you will
be received by our friendly staff, who will show you around the
fishery, point out the hotspots and tell you all you need to know
so you are fully genned-up. After you have chosen your swim at set-up
had a cup of tea may be? it's on with the reason why you came, bait
on, rods out and soon you will be cradling your first specimen and
may be a personal best! Each swim on Etang le Rocher produces well and has holding features in front of it, so every
one has the same opportunity to catch, we have worked hard on the
fishery to ensure this as we have all had the time when we've said
-God I wish I was in that swim!

We have put together a gallery
of pictures taken at all times of the year so you can see it really
is an all season venue, not like any we can think of, this fishery
just seems to produce week in week out. This may be due to the incredible
fish stocks that lay beneath the surface, but this would only be
part of the reason. It has a lot to do with water condition, Etang
le Rocher is stream fed, which means oxygen levels are always high,
the ph level is perfect and the fish are big, strong and young all
just as significant reasons for the catch rates of this superb fishery
which have been quite exceptional. Click the button below to see

| Baits
and particles...... |
| Mainline Active
8 boilies are really effective on this lake, the carp just seem to
love them, fished over a small bed of carp pellet and you can expect
some hard fighting specimen sturgeon to come your way. Use your bait
carefully as large beds of bait can spook the fish, little and often
usually brings better results. Particles available on site are hemp,
party blend, groats, carp pellet, salmon pellet for hook bait. These
are ready prepared and sold at a reasonable price, typically lower
than English tackle shop prices, we do this so the fish get correctly
prepared food and weight / space saving on the mini-bus. |
