Drive & Survive Carp Fishing in France.
LCA Lake is located in Northern France, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes drive from Calais.
Facilities & Information
LCA Lake is a drive and survive carp fishing venue located near the beautiful village of Beauvais in Northern France, roughly 2 hours 30 minutes drive from the port of Calais. The lake is an old gravel pit of approximately 13.5 acres in size with 12 swims and maximum depth down to 18ft. With a maximum of 6 anglers per week, we feel it’s an ideal venue for a social with friends.
LCA Lake is stocked with approximately 300 carp averaging 24lb – 30lb with nine specimens weighing between 45lb up to 50lb. The lake contains thirty grass carp to 50lb+ with no known sturgeon or catfish present. The lake has crystal clear water which promotes weed growth, creating a healthy oxygen rich environment full of natural food and some of the best looking dark coloured carp you’re likely to catch. Therefore we feel LCA lake is best suited to anglers who have some experience fishing in weed.
Facilities include a shower and dry toilets. Water, bread and drinks can be purchased on site during peak season. Other groceries are also available on request. Anglers should bring enough batteries/power for a week as there is no power at LCA Lake.
There is an English speaking bailiff present at the venue at all times, to help you with anything you need.
Food Package
There is no food package available. The supermarket is located in the village, roughly 5 minutes drive from the lake.
