The Lake:

Etang de Planchon is a beautiful and secure four acre lake set in ten acres of tranquil countryside. The lake surrounding is mainly laid to lawn with an area of woodland and has stunning views through the valley.

The Lake is fed by two streams and two natural springs which provide good water levels all year round. It has the classification of a fish farm due to the very high water quality and optimum temperatures encouraging incredible growth rates.

Fishing is permitted day and night, maximum limit of 5 anglers with 3 rods each.

The lake has an average depth of 5 foot and has an elongated 'S' shaped island set down the middle producing features to cast to. The lake has 6 spacious swims for choice, 5 swims maximum will be used at any one time, 2 of which have been designed as double swims. Bait boats are allowed on the lake and can be hired on site.
