Bay Lakes

 

Owner Lee Bayliss started setting up this complex in the Champagne region nearly 10 years ago with two carp lakes and now there are two quite mature waters. The two lakes were created by gravel extraction in the past and are separated from each other by a dam and are now surrounded by the necessary trees and shrubs. The facilities are in good order, as you would expect from a self-respecting destination in France these days. The experienced bailiff is at your disposal throughout the week. He is the man with the most knowledge of the lake and can assist you with advice and assistance. The two lakes have a total area of approximately 10 hectares and contain a beautiful and challenging stock of heavy carp.
The complex is a short distance from Vitry le Francois, where you can do all your shopping. You will also find a number of excellent restaurants and hotels.

Mooi water, moeilijke week, mooie vissen.

5 April 2023

Zeer slecht weer doorheen heel de week. Temperaturen tot -5 snachts en veel koude regen.

Na lang zoeken toch een aantal runs kunnen forceren. 21.5 en 25.4 kilo. Prachtige schubs.

Ga zeker terug.

Zeer vriendelijke bailiff en afdoende faciliteiten.

Prima water , prima faciliteiten.

Bayliff prima evenals de eigenaar.

Enige waar ik erg aan moest wennen de Engelse karpervissers.

Wisselen constant van plek , wat veel onrust veroorzaakt.
