CASTAWAY LAKE 1

Castaway Lake 1 is approx. 5 acres in size and is fed by a small stream. It has a wealth of features to challenge the angler, over hanging trees, lily pads and reed beds making it a complete fishing experience and a haven for carp and catfish.
There are two double and one single swim, which are shingled to help prevent any mud being walked into your bivvy . These are set in amongst the trees and as we only have 5 anglers at a time each angler has plenty of lake to themselves
and features to fish to.
The lake is stocked with a good head of commons, mirrors and grass carp to 50lb and catfish in excess of 90lb. In the evening if the catfish are active you will probably hear them slapping their tails to start their feeding frenzy.

To give you even more variety and 'exotic' photos to show your friends, we also have Silver carp the largest weighing 60lbs and 2 of the rare mandarin catfish the largest weighing 80lbs,

We know that a lot of lakes in France have nussiance fish such as poisson chat or crayfish to bother you, but we are very lucky as we do not have
any of these in our lakes.

The depths of the lake range from 3ft to 7ft, and the bottom is mainly silty but also has gravel patches.

Facilities
Ready and waiting for when you arrive.
Bivvy erected at your swim. Also a cooker with gas.
Supplied in the bivvy you will find a bed chair, fishing chair, bivvy table.
All cooking utensils are also provided, plates, cutlery, kettle, saucepans etc.
There is also a 6 berth Willerby mobile home which is available for the use of all anglers. This supplies you with toilet, separate shower room, fridge, hob, microwave and mains water and electric.
This has additional cooking utensils etc.
There is also a bbq.
Please note that we do not supply sleeping bags, or any bed linen, towels etc. in the mobile home, so you will need to provide these for yourself.
The mobile home / car park are withing easy walking distance from each swim.

Location
Castaway Lake 1 is located on the outskirts of the tranquil village of Ajain, which is within walking distance from the lake and has small supermarket, café, bakers, post office and chemist.
The main town of Gueret is approx 10 minutes by car where you will find all the shops, banks, restaurants and Mc'Donalds etc .

CASTAWAY LAKE 2
If you enjoy wildlife, peace and quiet, then this is your dream lake. Approx 11 acres in size and set in the beautiful French countryside nestled amongst fields and forest the only thing to keep you awake at night is the wildlife,
and the slapping of the catfish tails.We know that there are some anglers who would rather use thier own equipment so if you prefer to bring and use your own bivvy etc then you can, or alternatively you can hire it all or some from us.
We have 8 purpose built swims on this lake but only allow 7 anglers. There are 2 double swims and a treble swim with a spare single swim. All swims are within easy walking distance of the caravans and car park, and easily accessible for unloading your gear.
The stock in this lake consists of common and mirror carp to 60lb along with catfish to just over 190lb.There are also 2 mandarin catfish the largest 65lb.The fishing is perfect, with no poisson chat or crayfish to bother you.
There are plenty of features to fish to on the lake, with overhanging trees and reed beds. The depths range from 3ft around the edge to the deepest areas around 12ft.
The bottom of the lake is a sandy bottom with silt areas around the tree lines.

For your comfort whilst fishing, we have put on site two 19ft caravans
which provide you with toilet, shower, fridge, hob and oven, hot and cold water.

Etang De Beynac.

Carp Fishing on our mature 300 year old 12 acre lake. The lake is surrounded by mature oaks and pines and set in the beautiful Dordogne region. The lake has 10 excellent swims and is substantially snag-free.

Fish Stock
The lake was emptied in December 1998 to register the carp stock. Over 2000 Kg of carp were confirmed, these were in the range of 3 to 14Kgs. There were other carp in the lake that could not be reached that were perhaps in excess of this.

An additional 600 Kgs of carp were introduced ranging from 6 to 13Kgs. This included two superb Koi carp of 10 and 11+ Kgs. We also put in some Catfish of up to 12 Kgs (they're growing fast!).


If you would like a change or prefer to course fish additional to Carp and Catfish the lake contains many other species. Large Pike , Zander and perch are present. Additionally Large Bream , Roach and Rudd abound in the lake. There are no nuisance species such as poisson chat and crayfish.

Today we estimate that the Carp should be in excess of 20 kg and the Catfish could be anywhere up to 40 kg.
