OverviewNear the Orient Forest (Eastern France) lies Maurepaire, an established 16 hectares (30 acres) lake with 8 comfortable swims. The venue is part of a big farm and is surrounded by vast fields. There’s a secure perimeter so outsiders can’t simply walk into the property. Maurepaire has an outstanding stock of about 500 mirrors and commons. We notice that this lake is becoming as famous as
Jonchery,
Domaine de Brocard and
La Horre.
The lakeMaurepaire is open from the end of March to the middle of August; this means that during 6 months the fish are left alone… The lake has a total surface of 16 hectare (30 acres). The bottom is flat and consists of clay and a layer of silt. In the center of the lake runs the old riverbed; here it’s max. 2 meters deep. Apart from the lilies at the far end, there are no obstacles.
The lake is relatively thin (between 100 and 200 meters) and a lot of fish are taken from the far reed lined margins. Baitboats are allowed to fish these spots.
The venue has a secure perimeter, which will give you a safe feeling.
The swimsThere are 8 comfortable swims for a maximum of 12 anglers. Several pegs are wooden swims, others are graveled pitches. Take into account that there’s very little shade on the swims; about 25 meters behind the swims there are a few trees that can provide some shade.
Swims 1 until 6 have car access, but after unloading, the car has to be returned on the parking. Swims 7 and 8 are accessible over a path. There’s a wheelbarrow to bring your tackle to the swim.
StockingMaurepaire has an exceptional fish stock of 500 commons and mirrors between 18lb and 58 lb.
Service and AmenitiesOn the farm there’s a fridge and a deepfreezer for the clients. There are also plugs to load mobile phones or batteries. The sanitary building is clean and has a decent shower, washbasin and toilet.
