Abbey Lakes | Northern France

Abbey Lakes is now 10 years old and over the years we have seen it change from a runs water to one of the best big fish waters in France at the moment with a potential EIGHT 60s and the complex record currently standing at an incredible 83lb 11oz. With four superb lakes to choose from there really is something for everyone on the Abbey Lakes complex.

The Abbey Lakes clubhouse has been described as the best angling facility in Europe and although we know the fishing always comes first, if you do want a break away from the waters edge then you are sure to be well looked after with a bar and restaurant on site.

  • Name: Abbey Lakes
  • Complex Record: 81lb 4oz
  • Available Lakes: Heron, Fox, Kingfisher, Attila.
    • Tactics
    Four lakes make up the Abbey complex and it is Fox and Heron which are the main attractions for the carp angler as they hold the biggest of the fish. Atilla is a great place to go if the fishing is tough as you are virtually guaranteed a bite with a good head of 20s, and Kingfisher is the new one on the complex that holds some unknown monsters and some massive cats.
