Les etangs de la Crolee Bas

Etang Crolee Bas
Etang Crolee Bas is 3 hectares in size. It has one centrally located swim, which has a generous amount of space. In fact it’s such a large swim you can comfortably fish here with a maximum of 3 anglers. The perfect social swim to enjoy time with friends and family whilst fishing in the beautiful French countryside. The luxurious and spacious safari tent offers room for a maximum of 4 adults and 2 children. Crollee Bas is fed by a natural spring so the water is fresh and keeps the fish and aquatic environment extremely healthy. The lakebed consists of silt, clay and sand. You’ll find it is a maximum of 3.5 meters deep. An oxygen pump runs through the centre of the lake and this shouldn’t bother you whilst you’re fishing, but it will ensure that the fish remain more active in the warmer periods.

Crolee Bas’s stock profile is superb. There are about 160 carp swimming there, many of which are exceptionally scaled ones, linear are common here as are fully scaled mirrors and some really interesting Ghost Carp too. Many carp in Crolee are home-bred and the local stamp of fish from this venue is really nice. Roach and pike also swim in the lake too. The biggest fish caught at Crolee Bas is over 25kg (50lbs+).
Bringing your own particles is prohibited, however you will receive 25 kilos of particle flakes mix on arrival. You are allowed to bring some hemp seed and a few kilos of tiger nuts as long as they have been properly prepared.
There is a plastic boat with ors for your use at the swim, although, it’s worth noting you should bring an electric motor, battery or fish finder yourself if you want to use the boat more efficiently.
