As 2025 draws to a close, we want to take a moment to say a huge thank you
to every past, present, and new customer who has booked, travelled, fished, and supported Angling Paradise throughout the year.
It’s been a standout year for us — one built on trust, shared passion, and some truly unforgettable fishing across Europe.
One of the biggest milestones of 2025 was the launch of our brand-new Angling Paradise website, designed to make planning your fishing holiday easier than ever. From exploring lakes and viewing photos to checking real-time availability and booking online with no added fees, the response has been fantastic — and we’re only just getting started, with more lakes and features continuing to roll out.
On the bank, 2025 has delivered in every sense. From social weeks in France through to hardcore winter sessions, anglers faced every condition imaginable — heat, storms, pressure drops, wind, and freezing temperatures — and were rewarded with PBs smashed, consistent action, and truly special carp hitting the bank. Highlights included 70lb+ fish, record breakers, and incredible consistency across multiple venues.
Lakes such as Lake Pelagićevo and Lake Šumbar continued to strengthen their reputations as elite big-carp destinations, with outstanding stock, proven genetics, new records, and demand already soaring well into 2026 and 2027. At the same time, trips across France showcased exactly what angling holidays should be about — great fishing, great company, and memories that last a lifetime.
Throughout 2025, anglers booked and fished a wide range of venues through Angling Paradise, including:
- Bay Lakes
- Blue Dart Carp Fishery
- Blue Largo
- Compton’s Lakes
- Étang des Landes
- Étang des Moulinots
- Lake Fishabil
- Ghost Park
- Hill House Lake
- Lake Pelagićevo
- Lake Ruby
- Lake Zabar
- Les Étangs des Chantereine
- Lake Šumbar
- Oakview Lake
- Waterside Fishery
Behind the scenes, we’ve also worked hard to improve the overall experience — from simplified bookings to tailored travel solutions with AP Crossings — helping anglers get to France, Croatia, Ireland and beyond smoothly and stress-free.
Most importantly, thank you.
Thank you to everyone who trusted us with their fishing holidays in 2025, whether it was your first trip with Angling Paradise or one of many. Your support, feedback, photos, and stories are what drive us forward.
Looking ahead to 2026, there’s a lot to be excited about — more venues, more updates, continued improvements, and even more opportunities to chase dream carp across Europe. With many lakes already filling fast, the momentum going into the new year is stronger than ever.
Here’s to building on an incredible 2025 and making 2026 even better.
