French Carp Fishing Holidays

Whether you are an angler from USA, France, Spain, or the UK, there is no better way than to spend time on a carp fishing holiday. American anglers no longer look at carp as ‘trash fish’. Known for their large weight that could be anywhere in the range of 30 – 80 lbs. plus, carp has slowly gained the reputation as fierce freshwater fighters, equal to their European counterparts. Carps have a larger life span, which is why they tend to grow larger. Carp fishing holidays along the St. Lawrence River could be the most wonderful experience for anglers. Apart from huge catches, package deals also include accommodation, fishing equipment, and a host of personal services. Missouri is a great place for a carp fishing holiday with a number of areas that include Rothwell Park Lake, and Crowder Lake.

Anglers from the UK have a variety of venues for a perfect carp fishing holiday. The region of Norfolk is home to some of the largest carp weighing 40 lbs. Championship Lake is well stocked with carp and has a number of lodges close the lake, which makes it convenient for anglers. The south England coast near Bournemouth is an ideal area for a carp fishing holiday. A few secluded spots are equipped with log cabins and are perfect for carp fishing. Quaint little villages provide the perfect ambience for a holiday. The region of Cornwall is a tranquil haven that is ideal for fishing. The area has a number of lodges and luxury cottages in secluded spots with plenty of carp. The 3-acre Folly Foot Lake in Somerset is perfect for both day and night fishing.

France attracts a number of carp anglers due to a large number of carp lakes, with fish in excess of 40 lbs. Depending on your budget there are variety of spots suitable for a fishing holiday. Public lakes and rivers are ideal for low cost carp fishing. However, you need to find accommodation and transport facilities located near the lake. Privately owned lakes such as Rainbow Lake and L’Etang du Chef de Ville guarantees a big catch. Boats are available on hire at privately owned lakes and are therefore suitable for those on a higher budget. To avoid any hassles, anglers can opt for an all inclusive package that takes care of accommodation, fishing equipment, and special expeditions along several lakes such as Etang du Vivier, and Croix Blanche. Carp fishing regulations vary, while some lake allow only 3 rods, other may require 4 rods for fishing, so make sure you inquire about the rules and regulations in advance.
