The Lake
Etang du Vivier is a rich, mature, estate type lake of 15 acres sitting in 40 acres of quiet woodland and fields. The water depths range
from 1 metre at the shallow end and 2 metres down to the damn wall. There
is a track around the whole lake so your gear can be dropped off behind your
swims and then returned to the car park so no struggling around the lake with your mountain
of gear.
The lake bed is mainly sand, clay & fine silt and the water
is heavily coloured due to the large head of carp continually rooting up the
bottom looking for food. There are 7 single swims and 3 double swims designed
for anglers with plenty of room in each. All swims have their own uninterrupted areas
of lake with visible features, margins and areas of shallow and deep water,
we only allow a maxiumum of 6 anglers at any one time so there is always plenty of room
for a move if you wish to try another area or fancy stalking one of the bays.
There are a number of small grassy islands dotted around the lake which provide
nice features to fish to and the marginal slopes and drop-offs are always
worth a try. A couple of swims have purpose built wooden platforms where
a rod pod is necessary. The fish patrol up and down the lake on the hunt for food all the time and can be seen
boshing all over the lake on a regular basis, they get caught from all swims so expect plenty of action whatever
swim you choose.
The lake is extremely quiet and peaceful especially at night so all you will expect to hear are the owls hooting, the catfish slapping and your clutches screaming!
