Carp Fishing France Bill's Lake 2

Carp Fishing France Swims

This lovely little lake is very popular with the small group of friends or dads & lads wanting to fish together and have a social. The fishing though is very specific, we have in the past had a problem with Poisson Chats, a nuissance fish similar to a very small catfish, that nibbles down your baits to nothing ! Since the introduction of 32 Wels Catfish the numbers of these nuissance fish have all but dissappeared ! And fishing normal Carp style is now the way to go!

The Fish

The lake is well stocked with all manner of fish and with the lake being relativly small you would think it would be very easy to fish. The stock in this carp lake is enormous with 300 Carp including mirrors to over 53lb and commons to over 40lb. There are also around 30 Catfish to 80lb, a few sturgeon and numerous Grass Carp and a hand full of Koi.

Lake Facilities

Set in the middle of the countryside this lake is only 5 minutes from the main lake where hot showers and toilets are free for you to use and are available all day. However, Bill's Lake 2 has a fishing hut positioned on the grass fishing bank with picnic table and a gas fridge so you can cook and eat in comfort, It also has solar USB charging (for phones etc) plus there is a separate Chemical Cabin toilet.

River Fishing

A popular feature at Bill's Lakes is the River Marne. This river is full of fish and shoals of Chub and Barbel can even be seen from the margins. It also holds some huge carp and cats for those who want to try. It requires a slightly different approach to lake fishing but carp gear will be fine to catch fish from the river. We sell permits at the lake for those interested.

Local Area

The shops can be found nearby with a Hypermarket and Mc.Donalds being only 5 miles away. We even have a local Pizza shop that will deliver Pizzas and Kebabs to the lake!
