Danny's Carplake - Fishing holiday in Holland | Angling Escapes

In the southern part of the Netherlands, just above the Belgian border and about 250 km from dunkirk there is a beautiful piece of nature bordering the city of Eindhoven. Danny’s Carplake is located in the middle of this nature. A wonderful initiative by a group of friends in memory of their fishing friend. Previously this location was also known as Inspiration lake. This beautiful carplake is a fishing mekka with the fish stock that swims here. Many carp anglers have already improved their personal record here! A road runs along the back of the lake, but the noise pollution is minimal. The site is completely fenced so that you will not receive unwanted visitors and your belongings will be safe.

Despite the fact that the lake is very clear, the carp from the old stock are a bit more difficult to catch. Be creative, try something new or fish with what you have confidence in.

Accommodation/facilities
Danny’s Carplake is a bivvy lake without accommodation. It is possible to use limited electricity (by means of solar panels). On location it is possible to use cooking facilities (including pans, cutlery). Unfortunately, there is no shower, but you can use a chemical toilet.

The swims
A maximum of four anglers and two non-anglers are allowed. When you reserve Danny’s Carplake you have the entire lake to yourself. The north side of the water has 4 different spots, all of which are easily accessible by car. But of course you can decide for yourself where exactly you will sit. However, you must set up the tents/bivvy’s in the places created for this purpose.

The fish stock
Danny’s Carplake is home to a fantastic old stock of carp. This includes mirror, linear and scale carp. Due to the large variation between the carp population, there is something for everyone. Not only beautiful high-built mirror carp, but also a number of extremely strong, large-sized scale carp and a number of large sturgeons. Although Danny’s Carplake is not a large body of water, it is certainly a challenge to catch old stock carp. In 2024 there are several dates picked to put more fish in the lake to replenish the old fish stock. And increase the chance of catches.

The complex is partly surrounded by trees and fenced with a fence. Danny’s Carplake is a beautiful venue with a natural appearance. But it is located close to the A67, which can cause noise nuisance. You will find several supermarkets between a 6 and 8 minute drive.
