Description

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. They 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 4 anglers which ensures an exclusive, quiet and unpressured 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 we added yet more quality fish to the lake. In addition to the carp there are Catfish between 20 and 46lbs.

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

Studies of the 2004 catch reports have revealed that the lake now contains approximately 10-15 forties, over 30 different thirties and over 70 twenties.
