The Swims
Swim 1 – island, 3 anglers:
Discover this very spacious and shady place that can easily accommodate 3 anglers, while having an area of more than 2.5 hectares without seeing anyone on the horizon, because you are on one side of the island and at the end of the lake. The edges are the fish’s favorite, but long distance fishing can also pay off if you fish the gravel bottom in front of you. You can extend your lines to over 210 meters. The island is only accessible by boat (provided on site). The shallowest part of this swim is around 1.8 meters deep.

Swim 2 – island, 3 anglers:
This very spacious and shady swim can easily accommodate 3 anglers, is located on the other side of the island from spot 1 and gives you a view of most of the lake, nothing will escape your notice. The width of the area to be fished allows you to fish both banks and open water. This site offers both hard and soft plates in the bottom, depending on your approach, this can give great results!

Swim 3 – 2 anglers:
This swim is located on the central part of the lake and can accommodate 2 anglers with car access.
You can intercept fish moving in the central part of the lake or on the opposite bank, more than 165 meters away. The bait boat will be an advantage when searching for fish and when fishing gravel areas rich in natural food. But you certainly shouldn’t forget the margins with overhanging trees and bushes.

Swim 4 – 2 anglers:
At this spot you fish the end of the lake and you can intercept the fish that want to move into the bowl. A bait boat is very nice at this spot because the other side is almost 200 meters away. An very spacious swim with access for the car.
