This week has seen some of the worst weather we have ever experienced in the fishing season. Heavy rain, gale force winds and temperatures more suited to February than April had a great effect on the fishing. However, all in all the week turned out a lot better than we could have hoped and des ....more
With a week of constantly changing weather the carp seemed to become unsettled and as the week progressed the fishing became more patchy. Today we have a little watery sunshine with rain and thunder storms forecast however temperatures are staying low for the time of year. April is always like ....more

Here at Le Moulin du Mee we are just beginning to come to terms with what turned out to be a netting of epic proportions. Our task was to remove all but our very biggest catfish and to re-home about 60 carp to Poppy's Lake. The thinking behind this was to enable our head of big carp to continu ....more

Le Moulin du Mée is a stunning 14 acre lake in the unspoilt region of France. The lakes are set in 40
acres of woodland and wild flower meadows and are a haven for wildlife. With its own ‘micro climate’ the area boasts long hot summers and mild winters, perfect for the growing on of carp.
With a maximum of 8 anglers allowed at any one time, the lake has never been pressured which has resulted in superb catch results week after week.
The lake has just over 500 stocked carp with weights ranging from low 20's to mid fifties. Last season plenty of 30’s, 40's and 50's were caught, both commons and mirrors and it is estimated there are at least 15 x 50lb+ carp, 50 x 40's,125 x 30’s, 250 over 25lb with the remainder being high teens and low 20’s. In April of 2011 we saw our first home grown 60 in the form of a common weighing in at 61lb. With the growth rates we have experienced in recent years we could well find that 2011 see's far more very big carp than we have estimated above. There are also some monster Cats aproaching 100lbs and put on a phenomenal fight.
The small lake, Poppy's, is around 4 acres and is stocked with around 150 small carp ranging from mid doubles to 25lb with an additional 50-60 bigger fish to be stocked prior to the start of the 2012 season. These carp will all be in the 25lb - 40lb bracket.
Excellent shower & toilet facilities on-site for charging bait boats, mobile phones, etc.

The food package comes highly recommended and is served at the outside eating area. The cost of €125 includes breakfast, two course evening meal and a glas of Beer or Wine.
