Proper French Carp Fishing. Proper Privacy.

Pull up, walk the margins, choose your swims — the lake is yours for the week. No day tickets, no shared banks, no one else on the water.

Hard-fighting mirrors and commons, clear rules, and a venue that has been looked after for over 25 years — that is the Lodge Lakes standard.

Based in Haute-Vienne near Limoges, Lodge Lakes runs two private venues for serious UK and European carp anglers: The Lodge Lake at Roussac and The Cabin Lake at Nantiat. Groups return year after year for the stock, the exclusivity and the lakeside stay.

Compare The Lodge Lake for big-fish potential and a lakeside lodge, or The Cabin Lake for a tighter, secluded session with two lakes and village access.
