Jack’s Lake
Availability 3 Anglers
Jack’s lake is located north of Reims just 2 and a half hours drive from Calais. The lake is 3 acres in size and can be fished by 3 anglers with carp to over 50lbs.
The lake dates back to the 1960s and is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs that line the lakes banks and an abundance of nature. It was acquired by the current lake owners in 2018 and opened for fishing holidays in 2022.
The majority of the fish in Jack’s lake are the original stock. These old fish include dark mirrors and beautifully scaled common carp. There are aroundly 80 carp in the lake, with the current lake record a 62lb common, at least 12 over 50lbs and an average weight 36lbs.
There are 4 swims which are spread around the lake to ensure that each angler has ample water coverage. There are plenty of features to fish to, including snags, shelves, overhangs and deep margins. The deep margins make this lake excellent for day time stalking.
The lake is for experienced carp anglers only, who appreciate nature and pristine old carp.
