Le Queroy Fishing Holidays

The Le Queroy lakes date back hundreds of years and when we first moved to the property centuries of silt was suffocating the waters, stunting the growth of the fish. Over the next two years we cleared the silt and revitalised the waters. We then re-introduced the best of the strains – rare long-bodied mirrors with the most amazing scale formations, a silver strained variety and finally a golden bellied deep bodied Italian strain.

Most of the fish in the main lake are 30 – 45 lbs (mirrors, leather and common carp) but there are some mirrors to nearly 50 lbs. There are also 14 grass carp to 40 lbs. These are fast, powerful fish to land. There is one catfish of around 80lbs. The lake covers some 5 acres and is 3.25 metres at its deepest point. There are 8 swims and three of these can comfortably take two bivvies. A second smaller lake of 1.25 acres currently contains a handful of specimen carp to almost 60lbs and one 40lb catfish. We have also a new larger lake which has been stocked and is now open for fishing.

We take great pride in our lake management skills. We net the lakes every year to remove roach and smaller carp. In January 2007 we removed carp below 27lbs.This still left over 2000 kilos of carp in the lake. The growth rates have been astounding. The best catch for a group in 2006 was 3974lbs (1803 kilos). The lakes and surrounding meadows are entirely owned by us. The fishing is exclusively for those who hire the Lodge. Six is the maximum number of people permitted per holiday (anglers and guests).
