Leon Lake France

French Carp Lakes with 80lb Carp.

Leon Lake is a 30 acre big fish water with specimen carp to 80lbs.

Facilities & Information
Leon Lake is 30 acres in size, has 14 swims and contains approximately 300 carp with roughly a third of the stock ranging from 45lb to 80lb+. The lake record is an 81lb common (37kg) which is backed up by a 77lb common (35kg). There are also half a dozen 65lb+ carp (30kg+) and numerous 20kg fish.

On site you’ll find a toilet, warm shower, secure parking, sockets for recharging batteries and freezer facilities. There is easy vehicle access all around the lake which makes the task of setting up or changing swims that little bit easier.

Leon Lake was excavated over 60 years ago and is surrounded by 50 acres of land which makes for a relaxing and comfortable fishing environment. The lake has an average depth of 8 feet (2.5 meters) down to 20 feet (6 meters) in some places and has many other features including the islands, shallow areas, plateaus, overhanging trees and more. Leon lake is not a runs water, it is recommended for experienced anglers. The lake is rich in natural food, including cray fish which is why the carp have grown to such huge sizes.
