The lake
Because water always flows into the lake through the forest on the left, the water is always fresh, nutrient-rich and healthy. The depth varies between 1 and 1.5 meters to as much as 2.4 meters at the dam on the right where the water flows out again. The sides of the lake consist of hard sand and run down to the middle where it is muddy. There are no obstacles, aquatic plants or weeds present in the lake! If the carp still get stuck in something, there are two rowing boats available to go to the fish.
The fish stock
Between 180 and 200 carp swim in the lake and it is a varied group, so that fishing remains exciting. You can catch with us: Scales, Leather Carps, Mirror Carps, Goast Carps, Grass Carps, Silver Grass Carps and Koi Carps of large to very large size and because we empty lakes ourselves and can get the most beautiful and healthiest fish, this range continues to expand, there are no fish under 14 pounds and the largest fish is around 48 to 50 pounds. There are also beautiful various kinds of large sturgeons, a pink grass carp and Albino catfish, plus Goudwinde.
