Poppy's Lake.
Poppy's Lake is our 'runs water' where we maintain a very high stock of hard fighting carp offering the holiday angler the opportunity to enjoy a regular bend in the rod with carp from high singles through to 45lb or so The average size is in the region of 17lb-50lb but with bigger fish coming through constantly. In 2021 we had several different 50's banked and a new lake record of 62lb. The fish here are growing at an incredible rate and after the drain down and netting due to take place in December 2021 we will be able to adjust stock levels to ensure continued progress.
Poppy's is a perfect little venue for up to 3 lads to enjoy a tranquil, stress free week in France with the chance of catching a good many carp with the added bonus of carp of 50lb and 60lb to add a little spice to the holiday.
There are no nuisance species with the lake holding just carp, roach, pike plus the occasional tench. During the 2016 season catches of up to 200 carp was achieved, even when the anglers decided to fish just days.

Action all the way at Poppy's Lake !
Poppy's Lake is above Etang du Mee and just a few minutes walk from the facilities.
We are planning to install a composting toilet adjacent to the lake for emergencies but anglers usually are quite content to stroll down to the main shower/toilet block.
It is a very quiet venue and a real sun trap where other than song birds and the drone of dragonflies the only other noise to be heard may be a distant tractor.
In the spring there is always a cuckoo to be heard around the lake and the summer months see kingfishers and even the occasional roe deer can be seen coming the the lake edge for a drink. Badgers and foxes also live close by in our woodland and will often be seen or heard in the nights or early mornings.

Happy days !!
