CarpDream XXL

The Netherlands Show on map

CarpDream XXL is a beautiful piece of nature in the Netherlands near Didam/Zevenaar. The lake CarpDream XXL is a larger variant of CarpDream in Herpen, but here on CarpDream XXL the focus is on fishing from a bivvy and you have to luxury to fish from a chalet. But the beautiful carp are not easy to catch. Which makes the challenge even bigger. There is a chalet placed on peg 1, for extra comfort but without any facilities. If you like nature and tranquility, CarpDream XXL is certainly a beautiful location for a carp fishing holiday.

When you make a reservation, you have the entire water to yourself! In the spring and autumn the lake is crystal clear and you can almost see the bottom. Although CarpDream XXL is about 2 hectares in size, it is a real challenge to catch these carp. It takes tactics, snag fishing, and thinking! The lake lies between the fields and is surrounded by beautiful large old trees. A farmer has the right of way to get to visit his land. And is almost the only person you will see

The Lake
CarpDream XXL has a very beautiful natural atmosphere. The depth of CarpDream XXL varies between 2.5 and 4.5 meters and there is an island / headland in the lake. The water around the island is shallow with weeds and is regularly visited by carp for feeding. This swim can only be fished from swim 3. But it is also nice to fish here with the floater rod! However, there are weeds and obstacles in the water. We therefore recommend that you have some experience in this and possibly bring the necessary materials for fishing. Adjust your fishing strategy. And every winter there is some new stock added. To keep everything in balance.

There is the posibility to rent a dingy. Or if you have a dinghy you are allowed to use it. However, the use of a boat is at your own risk, so wear a life jacket! There is also electricity with European plugs to charge your bateries.

The Chalet
The chalet is located on swim 1 and provides a nice shelter against the rain or the wind, but also against the warm sun in the summer. A power point (european plug) has been made in the chalet and has a fridge. Furthermore, the chalet has no facilities, such as beds or a kitchen. But very nice not to have to set up a tent. And to be able to grab a cold drink!

There is a chemical toilet on site. And you also have the possibility to take a shower nearby.
