Clay-based lakebed with areas of silt and exposed gravel
No weed growth and no history of algal blooms
No known snags, though natural undercuts and old root systems add character and challenge
Four spacious double swims
Managed specifically for low stock density and high average weights

Bait

We have an extensive bait package that is available upon your arrival at The Famous Five

About the boilies … 
The 18mm frozen boilies are freshly prepared locally, air dried and then frozen.  There are no preservatives and no fillers.  The baits are manufactured by an English bait specialist and are used across many lakes across this region of France. The Cranberry and caviar boilies are used as part of the feeding regime across the year.  

WHAT’S IN OUR BAIT 
Of-course there are too many ingredients to list here but here’s a brief insight into a few of the ingredients we use, their proprieties and functions within our baits. 

Fishmeals 
Generally produced from the by-products of the commercial fishing industry – often, left over flesh, bone and offal. This then undergoes a drying process before reaching its powdered form, fishmeals are widely used to produce aquatic feeds. 
There are various types of fishmeal available with varying qualities, one of our preferred choices of insoluble fishmeal is a low temperature fishmeal produced from white fish, due to the low temperatures in the production process this ensures higher levels of key nutrients are preserved providing a comprehensive range of amino acids, high levels of digestible protein, and offering a relatively low oil content when compared to some others that are available. 

Pre-digested Fishmeal 
Unlike standard fishmeal this product as the name suggests has undergone treatment to render it pre-digested, the science behind this process relies on enzymatic hydrolysis. 
The result is a fishmeal which is extremely attractive to fish, loaded with free amino acids, extremely high in digestible proteins and is highly soluble in water. 

Lambs Milk Replacer 
Lower in protein than some refined milk powders, lambs milk replacer is a functional bait ingredient that provides a range of benefits to a finished bait. It is rich in globular proteins, lipids  and key vitamins (A & D) being water soluble it acts as an effective fish attractor, it aids binding and provides a very mild sweet undertone in a bait which helps to remove the bitterness of some other ingredients. 

Acid Casein 
A refined spray dried milk protein. It’s extremely high quality, offering protein levels in excess of 90% it also supplies a range of key amino acids. Whilst providing functional qualities to a bait, it aids rolling through it’s binding qualities and is semi water soluble. 

Rennet Casein 
Like Acid Casein, Rennet Casein a very high quality refined product offering in excess of 90% protein, rich in amino acids, providing an excellent rounded profile when used in conjunction with other milk proteins. 

Sluis CLO 
Widely used in many different bait formats, CLO is a multi-functional ingredient that brings many benefits to any bait. High in starch CLO aids the digestion of protein it’s rich in carbohydrates providing a valuable energy source, aids texture and “crunch” along with the benefits derived from the inclusion of cod liver oil – omega 3 fatty acids. 

Haiths Robin Red 
An all-time classic that has been used in boilies almost from their inception, arguably the most successful fish attractor of all time, this nutritionally beneficial ingredient adds serious pulling power to a bait, it has a spicy taste and aroma which fish find irresistible and as you’d expect adds a deep red colour to a bait when used at optimum levels. 

Yeast 
Brocacel Yeast is a spray dried pure yeast culture and brings a whole range of benefits to a bait. It is widely used in animal feeds to increase palatability, being water soluble it is naturally very attractive to carp. It improves digestion, absorption, gut function promoting beneficial bacteria growth. 
Brocacel improves the immunity of carp and enhances the capability to with stand stress. Brocacel is rich in vitamin B, contains a complete range of amino acids as well as being high in protein and carbohydrates. 

Vitamins 
To further enhance all of our baits, we use a specialist vitamin supplement premix which ensures all the key vitamins required by carp are available 

Krillz 
This superb fishmeal bait that is sure to be a firm favourite with carp and anglers alike. 
This krill based bait is similar in make up to the Envy, rich in amino acids and digestible proteins. 
Containing low temperature fishmeal’s, pre-digested fishmeals, soluble milk proteins, vegetable proteins, high quality bird foods, brocacel yeast along with our vitamin premix. 
The Krillz also benefits from a generous helping of premium quality Atlantic krillmeal, the infamous Haiths Robin Red along with liquid feeds such as Krill Hydrolsate and Scottish salmon oil.
 
KS-1 BOILIES 
KS1 is a creamy blend of easily digestible including bird foods, brewer’s yeast, vanilla, Brocacel yeast culture, milk proteins, Clo and Kelp. Developed to ensure fish get an extensive mix of amino acids and vitamins. It is made using the finest ingredients with no fillers to ensure the best nutritional value and growth for the fish.
 
Twisted Tuna BOILIES 
Twisted tuna is a blend of tuna, krill, predigested & cray fishmeals along with a milk protein give the bait a good balanced protein base. With the inclusion of bird foods including Robin Red along with CLO this bait has been developed to ensure the fishes best health and weights 
Available in Cranberry and Black Caviar or Squid and octopus 

About the particle … 
Is freshly prepared on site containing a mixture of locally sourced maize and wheat.  It is pre-soaked with additives for at least 24 hours before being cooked and allowed to rest. This mix is used throughout the year as part of the feeding regime.
