We rate difficulty of fishing at Les Croix as moderate - it is an anglers lake where you need to think about your fishing, good anglers catch well,

you will need to use a fair amount of bait and apply it regularly to realise the true potential of the water .

There are now many thirties at Les Croix, several forties, carp to 50lbs+ with the average size well over 27lbs.*

Q:  Can I book the lake without the accommodation ?

A:  At Les Croix, no.  At Les Levades, "drive and survive" fishing is possible at reduced prices.

Q:  Do you take individual bookings ?

A:  No, both lakes can only be booked on an exclusive basis.

Q:  Will there be any other anglers at the venues during my booked week ?

A:  No, the whole site is reserved exclusively for your party for the week.

Q:  How much bait will I need for a weeks fishing ?

A : Les Croix responds well to regular and sometimes heavy baiting tactics. If the fish are feeding well you will need a good amount of bait.

25 - 30kg of boilies, 25kg of pellets and 25kg of parti-blend have been used to good effect. As we sell bait on site at competitive prices, 

it may be worth bearing this in mind rather than transporting large quantities of bait over to France.

A:  We encourage anglers to use the Bait that we sell on site which is fresh/frozen PREMIER BAITS boilies, Les Croix pellets and our own prepared parti-blend.

 Please DO NOT BRING nets, slings or mats.
