Carp fishing at Etang Furet
Thaumiers, Northern France
Lake Description
Etang Furet
Charm, tranquility and 30kg+ carp. This is how one would describe Etang Furet. The lake owner and fish farmer Guillaume Rousselet runs this marvelous 25 acre venue. There's a stock of around 250 healthy carp and the current lake record is 31kg (68lb). The facilities are fine and there's an on site tackle shop. If you're looking for an uncrowded lake in France, Etang Furet is a definitely a good choice for you.
New: The owners have decided to reduce the number of swims in oder to offer more space to the anglers. Swims 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 11 won't be available anymore as off next year.
Swims 2 and 3, both featuring a 2 bedroom lake side bungalow, will become double swims. On the other side of the lake there will only be 2 swims: swim 9 (single swim) and swim 10 (double swim).
The changes will make this charming venue even more tranquil. And the anglers will have more carp and much more space to fish!

The facilities are located behind swim 2, next to the owner's house. There are 11 swims for a maximum of 10 anglers, this gives you plenty of space to move around a little if you want to.
Stock
Etang Furet has a carp stocking of around 250 strong & healthy carp; the average is 16kg (35lb) and the current lake record is 31kg (68lb).

This 28kg carp has recently been caught with 31kg (lake record). Since then, every winter the lake is restocked to improve the stock of the venue.
