Description
Overview
Jonchery is one of our most established and most famous lakes. Because of its good reputation, its good service, the facilities and of course the extraordinary carp fishing conditions we actually don’t have to make a big effort to get a good ocupation of the lake. On the contrary, our clients book one year in advance and in October the lake is for 80% fully booked. Just have a look at the availability...
This beautiful carp fishing venue is stocked with 350 big and healthy mirrors and commons. The biggest are even reaching the magic 60 pounds barrier.
The 6 confortable swims have good access by car. There are no obstacles on the bottom of the lake and the deepest spot is about 2 m. Between pegs 5 and 3 its shallow. Swims 3, 4 and 6 lie in the shadow in the afternoon, the others dont have any shadow. Bear in mind that swim 1 lies next to the entrance of the site, you might have some noise from cars driving in and out the venue. Each peg has a little boat that can be used for two hours morning and evening for the purpose of ground baiting. You can also use your remote control bait boat if you respect these baiting hours. The boats shouldnÂ’t be used for placing of hook baits.
The whole site is completely closed so this will give you a safe feeling.
