| A brief guide to the history and management of Les Croix |
Les Croix is owned and managed by Jon and Sophie Perkins who moved to France permanently in 2006 after many years planning. We are passionate about what we do, and a lot of thought, planning and energy has gone into the making of Les Croix - our aim is clear...superb value carp fishing holidays in France with excellent facilities and services - a holiday to remember.
Jon is an ex Fisheries Officer of the N.R.A./Environment Agency in England with 10 years real experiencein the field of freshwater fisheries management, has an Honours Degree in ecology and holds both the certificate and diploma of the Institute of Fisheries Management - the Diploma qualification is held by less than 100 people in the UK.
Whilst many carp lakes in France are owned or run by carp anglers who think they know about fisheries management, Les Croix is different......because of our expertise you will be fishing a water where things are done correctly.
Apart from the work background, Jon has also been an angler since the age of 8, and having fished for specimen pike, barbel and tench, and has been a devotee of the carp scene since 1984.
Sophie is an ex Office Manager with many administrative skills (thank God I don't do the accounts !), and who has also been known to wet a line from time to time ! She is also a great cook, having also worked in the catering trade, so you are guaranteed to eat well at Les Croix !

   A short history..... Les Croix came into existence in November 2006 when the property was acquired by the current owners. During the winter of 2006/7 the lake was drained and all the fish, including the original carp stock, were removed. The lake was then refilled during January and the carefully selected new carp stock was introduced in spring 2007. More carp were added in December 2007 and March 2008, bringing the total population and biomass of the carp to the correct level . The carp have been brought in from an area of central France renowned for immensely strong fish, and they have never been fished for prior to their stocking at Les Croix. |
