Etang le Rocher - Fishing in France
The Lake......  

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!

Etang le Rocher - Fishing in France

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.

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.
