In the famous Champagne region, between fields of sunflowers, corn and lavender you can find the stunning lake Lac D’Arcy. It is one of the most popular areas for the English, Dutch and Belgians to fish. Many gravel pits are transformed into carp lakes in the past and there is plenty of choice. We first visited Lac D’Arcy in 2014 and you can immediately see that the property is well taken care of. Clear water with neatly landscaped swims and a beautiful lodge are the first things that stand out. Once inside the lodge you will find a wall of fame with many pictures of the underwater inhabitants. Many wonderful mirrors and massive commons to well over 78lb are caught in recent years tickle your imagination. The entire complex is securely fenced. The bailiff is available to assist you and provide you with tips & tricks. With 11 acres there is place for up to eight anglers in case of an exclusive booking and four when you book half the lake. An ideal water to fish with a group of friends!

Superweek D'Arcy 18/05/2024
Wederom een mooie – super – sessie op D’Arcy. Na even zoeken en proberen de juiste diepte gevonden en een paar mooie plekjes. Uiteindelijk 23 runs mogen hebben waarvan er 19 verzilverd werden. Een PB van 78 pond voor mezelf en een 73 pond PB voor mijn vriendin. Veel zeer mooie en oersterke vissen mogen vangen.
Wederom bedankt aan Jean-Claude en de aangename andere vissers op de West.
Lastige week door weersomstandigheden, maar super service en zeer vriendelijk
Ondanks de lastige weersomstandigheden voor de tijd van het jaar, hebben we er een paar hele mooie toppers uit kunnen pikken.
Super service van Carpspots en natuurlijk de bailiff en eigenaar. Tot volgend jaar.
