Carpiste du Bazoches

The lake
Carpiste du Bazoches is 20 years old and became a pay lake in early 2018. From the arrival point, the left side of the water is the deepest, averaging 2 meters, while the right side averages 1.5 meters with many shallower plateaus.

There are various slope edges, making it interesting to take your boat onto the water. It is allowed to use a boat with an electric motor, but a life jacket is mandatory! And you must be considerate of your neighbors. The bottom is hard and consists of sand and gravel.

Here and there you will find soft spots where “dirt” accumulates. In many places, the bottom is covered with a 20-40cm high carpet of weeds. The shallower parts of the water will be more difficult to fish during the high season because of this. The water is very clear, making underwater filming very interesting! However, you must be aware of a formidable opponent! Carpiste du Bazoches is home to American crayfish. The carp love them! Therefore, it is wise to use shrink tubing for your hook bait.

The fish stock
Besides the challenges Carpiste du Bazoches offers as a water and strategic fishing, Carpiste du Bazoches is considered a running lake. Many numbers can be caught. But if you want to catch the top fish in this water, you will need to come up with a solid plan. Additional advantage: There are no bream or catfish!

At the end of 2017 and the beginning of 2018, a total of 1000 carp were stocked with an average weight of 3-5 kg and 5-10kg. The old stock consists of about 300 carp with an average weight of 7-12 kg. There are about 30 carp weighing 15-20kg. And about 5 carp above the magical 20kg+. The heaviest carp was caught in 2017 at 24kg. Besides the diverse carp stock, you can also catch sturgeon. There are 4 sturgeons of about 1 meter, which eat the bottom and old bait. Furthermore, there are tench, pike, and zander swimming in Carpiste du Bazoches.

The spots
A total of 33 spots have been created. The spots are spaciously set up and all accommodate 2 anglers. Which spot you will be on is determined upon arrival. Therefore, it is important that you arrive at 1:00 PM. The spots are drawn at 2:00 PM. If you arrive too late, you will have to choose a remaining spot.

In total, only 20 anglers are allowed on Carpiste du Bazoches. Because there are so many spots, you often have the option to move during your stay. This must be done in consultation with Patrice. If you cannot speak French well, you can always contact us so that we can discuss this with the manager for you. It is also possible to rent Carpiste du Bazoches with large groups. This is possible from 16 anglers per week.

Parking
It is possible to reach the spots by car. This is at your own risk. The car can also be parked at the spot, but make sure the car is not in the middle of the path. If you go to Carpiste du Bazoches during a rainy period, it is wise to check first before driving. The path is paved with gravel, but due to frequent use and a rainy season, this can sometimes cause problems.

Facilities
Charging batteries is possible for a small fee with the manager. There are 2 dry toilets available. We therefore advise you to bring your own “Porta Potti,” also because it can be quite a walk from your spot.
