Carp Fishing Holidays in France - Moorland Fisheries

Etang du roivre is a fifteen acre lake set in our own 33 acre estate which in turn is situated in the middle of the renowned, beautiful Burgundy region of France. The lake is over three hundred years old and has only been fished since we bought it in early 2002 before which it had been kept as a nature reserve. It is now a French carp fishing holiday venue with a superb stock of very big fish and this will continue to develop as detailed in the following pages.

The entire site is securely fenced to two metres high and you can relax in safety while being able to watch the likes of pine-martens, stoats, weasels, red-kites, buzzards, falcons, wild deer and many more native animals. Outside of our boundary there are just miles of farmland and forest and no road, railway or industrial noises to spoil the tranquillity.

We have cut 20 level swims around the lake but limit the numbers of anglers to a maximum of 12 per week. This ensures that there are always empty swims to move to if you need to or for stalking during the day. When you arrive at the lake we will give you a brief guided tour so that we can advise you of where we have seen carp feeding or where the fish were caught from during the previous week.

On one corner of the lake we have constructed a dining lodge which is based on a small “English country pub.” It has a log fire for the colder months and it is where English breakfasts and evening meals (included within the price) are served and where beers and wines are available. We have English toilet and shower facilities with free hot water 24/7 and will work very hard to help you catch the fish of your dreams.

Visit our Video page and I will give you a guided tour around the lake.
