LCA Lake
General information
In the north of France, close to the village of Beauvais, you will find the beautiful LCA Lake. The lake is about 5.5 hectares in size and is an old gravel pit. The maximum dept of the lake is 5.5 meters. The lake is situated in a calm environment without any busy roads nearby. Perfect for the fisherman who can appreciate a bit of quietness!
LCA Lake has very clear water and some parts contain quite a lot of weed. This gives the water a lot of natural food, which helps the approximately 300 carp grow. Fish up till 23 kilos have been caught at the lake, but we know for sure that there are two fish that are even heavier. These two fish have not been caught yet. All fish on LCA Lake are dark colored and they vary a lot in the way they look. Beside the 300 normal carp in the lake, there is also a nice population of grass carp in the lake to manage the growth of the weed.
With a maximum of five anglers per week, LCA Lake is a great venue where everyone can enjoy his or her style of fishing without getting in each other’s way. The lake is a great challenge for fisherman who have some experience in weed fishing. There is an English speaking bailiff present at the venue at all times, to help you with anything you need.
If you are looking for a nice, not too commercial looking venue, this is the place to be!

- It is not possible to book a certain swim. At 12:00 there will be a draw for the swims, unless everyone agrees with the swims between themselves. If you arrive after 12:00, you can pick a swim from the leftovers.
