Every angler knows that nothing can be guaranteed with fishing. Conditions can be wrong & carp are fickle creatures - unfortunately sometimes they just don't feed. BUT... if there's one venue on our books where we had to stake our reputation on good catches it would be Morganes. It sometimes appears that there's more fish than water!
Here's a few catch reports from 2008 - you can read more in the customer feedback section;
"1,220 lb of fish... all 5 anglers achieved personal bests. Highlights; catfish of 50lb, common 42lb, sturgeon 35lb, grassy 39lb... and another 17 carp over 30lb."
Adrian Marsh, July 2008

Colin Claxton, June 2008
"Can't recommend this venue enough... we had a great week. If you have never fished France before this is the one for you! At times we could not get all three rods out without one of the others screaming off! "
Sean Marjoram, June 2008

Morganes is owned by one of Frances most respected fish farmers, Michel Bigot, so the lake is managed exceptionally well. The stock is constantly monitored and a recent netting of the carp lake showed a superb stock of fish running from 15 to 55lb, with great numbers of big fat commons. The cats range from 40 to 120lb and will provide plenty of exciting and tense moments... and monumental fights!
The lakes are totally private with no public access and the shops are only 2 minutes away.

The mobile home has gas and electric laid on. All electric sockets are for British 3 pin plugs... so you don't need adaptors and there is at least one socket in each room.
Kitchen - sink / drainer, hob, grill, oven, large fridge with small freezer compartment inside.
Lounge / Diner - large 'U' shape seating area with dining table. Seating area can be used for sleeping if needed. Gas Fire for cooler evenings.
Bathroom - sink, toilet and shower. The shower is over a small hip bath, and is very good, hot and powerful.
Bedroom 1 - double bed, wardrobe, dresser and cupboards.
Bedroom 2 - 2 narrow single beds and one (very small) fold down bunk. The singles could be pushed together to form one big single or a small double bed. Also has wardrobe and dresser.
Note: the bedrooms are at the back of the mobile home and sheltered by trees so they don't get any sun and they can get cold at night.
There are 2 doors (one from Kitchen, one from Lounge) out onto the decking area. The decking is large, with steps down to a fishing platform. Although it has railings all around, it is not safe/secure for young children so you need to take care. You'll need to take bedding including pillows, blankets/duvets, towels and tea towels.
Mobile phone reception varies according to network but you should get a signal at some point around the lake!
