| This is a great opportunity to fish for Carp in a tranquil private location in France The Top Lake is fishable around three sides of it's banks and at 2 acres plus in size, this represents some great fishing. It is also 16 feet deep and stocked with plenty of good sized carp. Our fish are in tip top condition and regularly fed to keep their weight up, but this doesn't stop them putting up a great fight. Hook into one of these beauties and you can bet you are up for a fight you won't forget in a hurry!
Check out 'Birthday' and 'Breeze Block' in our gallery, just a couple of the many great catches possible in our lakes. |
| Fishing all year round Our lakes are fishable all year round, with great catches being made throughout every season of the year. In fact, it seems that as the air pressure drops the fish begin to feed more readily and this of course means the bigger fish as well as the not so big. But hey, a 20lb fish is still great fun to catch, especially when they are active!
Your Stay We have plenty of room for your party's bivvies on site and if you are disabled at least a quarter of Top Lake is easily and safely accessible to you. This includes access to the deepest and best fish holding area of the lake @16ft deep. Please see our Site Layout and Pegs page for details. Other areas of the site are also easy accessible for you too.
We are the ideal 'Drive and Survive' venue but our small lodge does have shower facilities, hot and cold running water on demand and cooking facilities in the new kitchen area... all available to you and your family throughout your stay with us. Please ask for details. The lodge also has a double bed and a single bed which can be specifically requested for hire too.
We only charge a minimum fee for overnight stays at Winsome Waters and we don't mind you 'camping sauvage' in your bivvy in designated areas. Also please be sure to clear up any mess and/or litter after yourselves.
We are also installing some caravans on the site for 2010... more details to follow - watch out for this in our What's New page. One 4 berth van now installed on site and ready for booking with your trip(04/04/10) |
Bottom Lake Simply a beautiful lake to fish. It is also over 2 acres in size and stocked with large Carp, Tench to 6 lbs plus, Pike to 25 lbs plus, Roach, Rudd and Catfish - need we say more?
There is ample camping ground around this lake on flat areas, with suitable barbecue areas for your use, but please be mindful of the danger of forest fires in the summer months.

| There are a few rules which we would like you to abide by as you fish with us: We are sorry but we cannot let you bring your own landing nets or weighmats - as you are probably aware this is the single main cause of fish diseases spreading between fisheries... so please take a look at our pricing page to see how reasonable we are in the hiring of all the equipment you are likely to need during your fishing break with us.
Careful handling of the fish: We insist that you treat our fish with respect - don't keep them out of the water for too long - get your cameras set up ready beforehand - and return them to the water gently - but we know you will anyway.
The site: We would also ask you to treat the Winsome Waters site with due respect - don't leave litter lying around or cause damage to the surrounding woodlands etc - obvious stuff really, but just something worth reminding you about as we will look forward to being able to welcome you back!
Rules & Regulations (well, there does have to be some, eh?)
Please observe our rules of conduct at the lakes as we would love to be able to invite you back.
