Castaway Lake 1 - The first of three lakes at La Creuse in FranceDescription:Castaway Lake 1 itself is approx. 5 acres in size fed by a small stream, and has reed beds and high quantity of lilly pads. It is believed to be over 1000 years old and is shown on all good maps. There are two double swims and one single swim, set in amongst the trees as we only have 5 anglers at a time giving each angler approx. 1 acre to themselves. Around the lake you may occasionally see a deer or two along with buzzards and kingfishers. The lake is stocked with Commons Mirrors and grass carp up to 50lb cat fish to 80lb+ and silver carp to over 60lb.. Castaway Lake 1 is located on the outskirts of the tranquil village of Ajain, which is situated in the La Creuse region of France just off the N145, which makes access to our lake very straightforward. The village of Ajain is within walking distance from the lake. If you enjoy wildlife, peace and quiet then this is your dream lake. We have decided to open this venue on a drive and survive basis with a maximum of 7 anglers, as we know that there are a lot of anglers who prefer to use their own equipment, or alternatively you can hire all the equipment from us. It has two double, one single and one treble swims, which are within walking distance of the caravan which provides toilet, shower , fridge etc. It is again set in the La Creuse region and just 5 minutes from our first venue. It has never been commercially fished before and we shall be stocking it with 4 tonne of carp ranging from 18lb to 46lb plus, which we have on order and will be added in November to the unknown existing stock. Castaway Lake 2 is located approx 5 minutes away by car situated in the countryside between Jarnage and Pionnat, with both villages being a short drive away. Both our lakes are within easy driving distance of the main town of Gueret, where you will find everything you need from bars, restaurants and hypermarkets, fishing tackle shops etc.
