Carp fishing at Iktus
In March 2008, Iktus will open it carp section, a carp fishing centre located in the Laroin commune, near Pau (Béarn, Atlantic Pirenees, 64).
The lake is situated near the trout reservoir. It has a surface of 35 hectares it's depth varies between 1 and 10 m. The water is clean , very clear and is of a very high quality. The venue is about 40 years old and is stretched out over 1 kilometer.
On this lake, only carp fishing is allowed. The carp stock varies between 6 and 25 kg and we expect some big surprises this year as carp can feed on a wide range of natural food. Fishing is only allowed from the banks, fixed swims, from March until November.
There is neither crayfish nor catfish.
In 2007 we restocked the lake with some extra, fast growing carp (4 to 8 kg). During the test session in October 2007 we were very surprised as we noticed that the same fish had almost doubled his weight in 6 months!
Service-Ameneties
Our anglers are welcome in the club house every day from 9.00h. We have a small tackle shop in the mezanine; the bar/restaurant has a nice terrace with fantastic views over the lake. There are two showers at the lake.
There's a special carp angler cottage at the other side of the venue where you can prepare your food (micro wave over, fridge, congelator) and there is also a WC. There are little chalets for rent with 2 or 3 bedrooms - blankets are not available, you have to bring them.
The bailiff Julien, a good carp angler, offers our clients all kinds of boilies (Fanatic baits), pellets, particles, etc. You can rent your tackle on the site, as well as boats (only the boats from Iktus are allowed, you can not bring your own boat). At Ikus they also offer a shuttle service from and to the local airport of Pau (operated by several low cost airlines, like Ryanair), situated at about 10 min from the lake.
