Fishing in France.

Looking for suggestions of a nice scenic lake or smaller complex in France with a river that includes barbus backing and included or one nearby.

Reasonable carp in the lake. Also advice on normal spawning times please.

Help appreciated.

You could have a look at bills lake (google) has a decent head of carp and a river that flows past it.. not been there for about 6 years but it fits what you are asking..........

It's a big place ; where do you want to be and how far are you willing to travel?

Distamce.
Going by car so I guess 150 miles max on arrival France.

Can't help with northern France but Provence and the Alpes Maritimes i can. Better weather too

Regarding carp spawning, in Northern France I've known them to spawn as early as the second week in April but normally it's sometime in the last few weeks of May.

Thanks for the info.

I looked at Bills lake and it seems they might just have 2 swims on the river.

Cheers
