Etang de Pesnel
Duration: 8 days / 7 nights / 6 days fishing
Fishing: 6 days
Adventure Rating: 
Target Species: Carp
Etang de Pesnel carp lake is tucked away in the stunning French countryside. It is the same one that Matt Hayes used to film his Discovery Home & Leisure TV series, Lake Escapes, and our director Paul Grothier organised the whole trip. It’s stocked to the brim with the highest quality carp, with plenty over 30lbs and several approaching the 60lbs mark.
The site has full toilet (English) / shower facilities with a small tackle / gift shop that also sells the basics, water etc. For that larger purchase the main shops are only a short distance away. All accommodation is bivvies (not supplied) as there is no other camping allowed on the lake.
On our Drive and Survive package you have the flexibility of choosing a week which is suitable for you - trips are available Sunday to Sunday from April to October (subject to availability). The cost of your trip includes all relevant fishing licenses/permits, Breakfast and Evening meals and a full 6-days of fishing.
Our on site Adventure Fishing Holidays baliff will be on hand to help as much as you require. With over 11 tons of mirror, commons and leather carp just about to top the 60lbs mark and averaging 25lbs +, fishing is sure to be some of the best you will ever experience. Sleeping in bivvies right on your swim means you'll get to fish 24hrs a day, and not miss a single second of the action.
So if you want to experience the same rod bending action that Matt did and, you are ready for the challenge, then give us a call or book online and we will do the rest.
