Etang Marolles

Vlag voor France France Show on map

On the border of Normandy and Brittany you will find the idyllic 20-hectare complex Etang Marolles, located in the middle of agricultural land in an oasis of tranquility. The owner of this location helps other owners build a beautiful paylake. Pegs that are well thought out. Islands that have been created. All from the perspective of a good angler. Etang Marolles is a water where tactics are needed. And the fish stock is great! There are really beautiful specimens swimming! The route there is easy and you drive on the well-known French motorways until the last quarter. As soon as you drive over the bridge onto the estate, you know you have booked the right location. There are 3 lakes on the complex. The main lake, the lake with the lodge called Bellevue lodge and a 3rd lake, which is still under construction. When you rent Etang Marolles you have the entire water to yourself.

Main Lake
The Etang Marolles main lake is a 6-hectare bivvy water. A maximum of 6 anglers are allowed here, giving each angler plenty of space. The swims (11 in total) are beautifully situated with overhanging weeping willows, giving each angler the feeling of having their “own” water. Various swims have sunken islands where bushes and small trees just emerge above water. Naturally, carp patrol along these areas searching for food. Since several swims are located close together, it’s ideal to take an adjacent swim with your fishing partner. This way you both have a large section of water but can still help each other if needed. All swims now have electricity and the owner is working to extend wifi coverage to reach the furthest swim around the lake. You can park your car behind the swim to unload all your gear. However, during your stay it must be parked in the parking area. Some stalker pegs are not accessible by car and these swims are designed more for roving with a stalking rod.

The average depth of Etang Marolles is around 1.5 meters. The bottom has various hard patches but most of it is softer silt. The stock is fantastic. Around 250 different carp live in this water, with over 40 fish breaking the 20 kilo barrier (5 of them weighing around and above 25 kilos). So there’s a good chance to break your personal best here.

Boats on Etang Marolles are prohibited except for bait boats. These can also be rented on site (but must be reserved in advance). There’s a well-maintained toilet block with shower and toilet, a separate room where the freezer is located and where a special cabinet has been built with multiple compartments and 220 volt charging points. There’s also a separate drying room for wet clothing, so you can dry them better. Finally, it’s possible to use a meal service with breakfast and dinner. This can be on the terrace at the house where the owner lives, but for a small fee this can also be delivered to your swim.
