About This Lake

Welcome to Bay Lakes – The Ultimate Carp Fishing Experience

Bay Lakes is a family-run carp fishery nestled in 35 acres of serene French countryside, offering two stunning, spring-fed lakes that provide an unforgettable experience for serious carp anglers. These former gravel pits, excavated in the 1980s, remained unfished until we proudly opened our bookings in June 2016. Since then, we’ve worked tirelessly to create a well-managed, peaceful, and productive angling retreat.

Both lakes feature depths ranging from 6ft to 12ft, with a variety of lakebed features to target. There are no nuisance fish—you won’t find any Poisson chat or crayfish here—so you can fully focus on the exciting carp angling these waters offer.

Lake 1 – 14.5 Acres of Prime Carp Fishing
Lake 1 is our flagship venue and has been the primary focus of our development efforts. It spans approximately 14.5 acres and is ideal for a maximum of 10 anglers per week on an exclusive booking basis.

Lake 2 – 10.5 Acres of Untapped Potential
Lake 2 offers a more intimate fishing experience while maintaining the same high standard. Covering approximately 10.5 acres, this lake is perfect for up to 7 anglers per week, also on a lake-exclusive basis.

Why Choose Bay Lakes?
Whether you’re chasing your next PB or looking to fish unpressured waters full of potential, Bay Lakes offers something truly special. With two well-maintained, exclusive-use lakes, top-tier facilities, and an experienced team on hand, this is the perfect destination for serious carp anglers looking for comfort, quality, and the thrill of discovery.
