Experience Ribière
400 stunning Ribiere big carp up to 80lb, first class accommodation, pool, facilities for families and groups - all in a relaxed and tranquil environment. Quite simply, a jewel in French carp fishing.
The Fish
We focus on giving our big carp the best conditions to reach their maximum growth - and it shows.
We are known for our big head of big carp, with an average over 44lb. The lake was originally stocked in 2001 and there are around 400 carp to 78.8lb (May 2019). We have a mix of stunning scaly fish, fast growing commons to 64lb and our large stock of big mirrors. We have 20+ fish over 60lb and three over 70lb (72lb,76lb,78lb). The old lake record was Julie at 84.7lb The three biggest fish now are Mr Magoo at 78.8lb, Moonscale at 76lb and the leather at 72lb. We have a good number of growing fish over 55lb. See the 'A' Team here and in the fish gallery below.
Facilities
We have created a range of facilities to suit all of your angling needs.
The reception block contains stunning shower facilities, changing room and toilets. There are also fridges/freezers for food and bait. We have free wifi in all our accommodation. In addition we have a children's play area, heated outdoor swimming pool (mid-May to mid-October) and sauna.
The Lake
Ribiere has been described, as a “jewel in France carp fishing” by Steve Briggs and it’s easy to see why.
The lake is simply stunning. Tree-lined, tranquil and an ideal place to relax and enjoy your fishing. Fishing is from one side only and you have plenty of water allocated for each swim.
You will not get disturbed by other anglers. We have just 8 pegs in 22 acres and there are markers on the far bank designating your water. View map for more details or explore the pegs here.
