Etang Ulysse

France Show on map

Etang Ulysse is located in the Champagne region of France. The well-known town of Lassicourt added another great location. Etang Ulysse is a former gravel excavation of 4 hectares, so there are beautiful depths in the water! It is therefore advisable to use a depth gauge on your boat or your feeding boat. Several bivvy spots have been created for anglers who like to fish from a different angle. And there is a neat accommodation right on the water. The accommodation has all the luxuries for 4 people.

The water
It’s wonderful to take the boat out on the water to find those numerous edges. Don’t forget to bring and wear your life jacket! Despite the beautiful depths, the carp also really enjoy the shallower areas. So definitely don’t forget to cast a line there. There are many carp between 10 and 15 kilos, but this won’t last much longer and the average weight will certainly increase. The owner has been feeding with pellets, grain and corn for 5 years to keep the carp in top condition. The depths of this gravel pit range between 2 and 5 meters. The bottom consists of sand and gravel and is quite hard. A large plateau lies in the middle of the water. It’s advisable to buy pellets from the owner, as the fish are familiar with them. During the day it’s possible to catch fish by sight. So also bring some nice fluorescent pop-ups. It’s possible to fish Etang Ulysse from different spots/swims. Fishing from the accommodation is the most luxurious option. But there are 4 swims created in total. You can decide for yourself where you want to position yourself. Be aware that where swims haven’t been created, the banks are made of gravel, which slides and shifts when you walk on it.

Arrival and departure times

Location
Etang Ulysse is 6 hectares in total and is located on a main road (D-396) just outside Lassicourt, so you currently still have traffic noise. This can be experienced as annoying. Trees have been planted that will also serve as a sound barrier. The cottage is about 400 meters from the road. The property is fully fenced which is very nice for your pet! They can run around freely. The gate is locked with a number code. Etang Ulysse is located about 3 kilometers from Brienne Le Chateau, where there are two large supermarkets, a bakery, a tobacco shop, various restaurants etc.

Accommodation
The accommodation at Etang Ulysse is small but practical and tidy. The large covered terrace gives you the feeling as if you’re living outside and on vacation. And it’s possible for 3 or 4 anglers to fish from the accommodation.
A beautiful stone accommodation has been built on the long side of the water. The accommodation basically consists of one large room, with a separate shower and toilet area. There’s also a fully equipped kitchen with induction hob + pans, refrigerator, freezer for your bait, a double bed and a fold-out 2-person sofa bed. There are 4 sleeping places in total. But for comfortable use we recommend 2 people to stay overnight in the accommodation. Also a dining area and TV and a beautiful terrace. Pillows, duvets and bed linen are provided. You have to do the final cleaning yourself! Pets are allowed. A top location for families, or for carp anglers who want a bit more comfort.

Bivvy spots
At Etang Ulysse it’s also possible to fish with a bivvy. Various places have been created for this. But it’s handy to bring extra long pegs and a hammer. Because the ground is gravel and you need to go about 15 cm deep. You can place a bivvy at the created spots. Or possibly higher up on the waterside. There’s about a 2 meter height difference here. In some places it’s possible to enter the water with waders, but remember that the gravel shifts. And in some sections it drops off steeply.
