The Lakes
Pegasus Lakes consists of two stunning lakes specifically designed for carp fishing. Lake 1 is 12 hectares with approximately 1,400 carp, and Lake 2 is 13 hectares with approximately 2,000 carp. Both lakes, created in 2007, offer everything a fisherman needs. Pete Burke, the English owner, has invested a lot of time and energy in creating two fantastic carp waters. The lakes are free from unwanted species such as catfish, crayfish, or Poisson-chat, ensuring an optimal carp fishing experience.
Pegasus Lake 1
It spans 12 hectares and features a mix of gravel bottom, hard spots, and silt layers. The lake has an average depth of 2.5 to 3 meters. Here you will find nine spacious double swims and one single swim, which together can accommodate a maximum of 19 anglers and 9 non-anglers. The swims are strategically placed, and you can park your car directly behind your swim or use the central car park. This is ideal for camper vans! Unfortunately, caravans are not permitted. On gravel pits, boat fishing is always recommended because depths vary and due to more weed growth in the summer months, thanks to the clear water.
The fish stock
Lake 1 is home to partially unknown carp originating from the initial stocking by a local farmer when the lake was created. One of these impressive fish was caught, weighing a remarkable 18.4 kg (40 lb 9 oz). Pete has since further enriched the lake with carefully selected fish. In 2022, an additional 25 mirror carp were added, weighing between 9 and 12 kg (20-27 lb), along with 30 pike to maintain the ecological balance.
Since the stocking, an extensive feeding program has been implemented, proving highly successful. All caught carp have increased in weight, are in perfect condition, and are known for their incredible fighting spirit. With record weights up to 29kg+ and many carp between 15 and 20 kilos!
