Carp France - The Fishing Holiday Specialists

The Premier Fishery in France

Les Montautiers is an established quality Carp fishery located in central Normandy with an existing stock of immaculate Carp of all varieties. The beautiful 5 acre lake is over 350 years old and is bordered by mature oak trees and traditional French poplars. There are many features including two islands, overhanging trees, reeds, bays, several sets of pads and a large channel between the islands and numerous hidden plateaux.

Les Montautiers is a perfect destination for anglers of all abilities, whether it is your first trip to France or you are a seasoned experienced traveller looking for that fish of a lifetime. Hooked in France provides first class on-site facilities hosted by a friendly on-site bailiff, Alan, who is always on hand to offer advice and tips to ensure that all our guests enjoy their stay.

Les Montautiers is approximately 5 acres amongst land of 6.5 acres. It is stream and spring fed ensuring good quality water throughout the year.

The banks offer easy access to the water, and the swims have been designed to drain in even the wettest conditions. No wellies required. Swims have been generously constructed to accommodate even the largest two man bivvies with room to spare. Three of the swims have been designed as double swims, allowing sociable fishing for 6 anglers which ensures an exclusive, quiet and non pressured experience.

Fish Stock
Les Montautiers was initially stocked in the winter of 1998-'99 with 130 fish. Most of these were low to mid twenties with a good head of thirties and a sprinkling of forties. Then again in the winter of 2001-'02 more quality fish were added to the lake.

A further stocking in early 2004 is further proof of the dedication and commitment of the previous owners by adding quality Carp as part of an ongoing stocking strategy for a brilliant and unforgettable catch.
 

Drive and Survive holiday it may be but the reality of it is that we do provide a number of ‘creature’ comforts that will make your stay more comfortable.

Our Anglers Lodge acts as a meeting place for our guests to swap tales of fish caught and provides a place for catching up on the UK news and sports via Sky Television. There is also the opportunity to stock up on bait and tackle from our shop.

The bathroom and shower facilities are right next door giving you the opportunity to freshen up before breakfast and dinner.

Dining (Food Package Customers Only)
The dining area seats up to 8 people and is often used as a gathering point for a beer or to catch up on the Sports news from the Sky TV provided free of charge.

Outdoor Eating and Barbeques (Food Package Customers only)
With such a lovely climate, the majority of the meals throughout the year can be eaten outside at either the top patio with good views of the lake or alongside the lodge where we can also Barbeque.

Bathroom and Shower
The Anglers bathroom is located conveniently next to the Anglers Lodge. It features a hot shower, sink and English toilet.
