Fish
our 12 acre lake, surrounded by mature oaks and pines and set in
the beautiful 350 acre Château de Beynac estate. The lake has many
good swims and is substantially snag-free.
Reasonably
priced hotel, guest house and other accommodation is available locally.
For those just bivvying, there are shower and toilet facilities
on the farm.
We
also keep good quality well trained horses on the farm so that those
who wish to break from fishing can ride out in the local countryside.
Fish
Stock
We emptied the lake
in December 1998 to register the stock. We confirmed over 2000 Kg
of carp, ranging from 3 to 14Kgs. There were others in the lake
that we could not reach that were perhaps in excess of this.
We have since bought
in another 600 Kgs of carp ranging from 6 to 13Kgs, including two
superb Koi carp of 10 and 11+ Kgs. We also put in some Cats of up
to 12 Kgs (they're growing fast!).
