Carp fishing at Evaro
Molins-sur-Aube, Northern France
Lake Description
Welcome to Evaro
Set in the middle of the fields in the Champagne region (northern France), Evaro is a 7,5 acre carp fishing lake for up to 7 anglers. Ideal for lake exclusive bookings, this venue is stocked with a little over 200 lovely commons and mirrors. The biggest carp being 35 kg - 77.16lb, the management has restocked the lake with some extra 50's. You can expect a lot of activity at Evaro!
The Lake
Situated between fields and lush oak woods, Evaro is a lovely 7,5 acre (3 hectares) carp fishing venue in Northern France. There is absolute tranquility, you won't hear any traffic; only the river Aube rippling along the property.
Nature enthusiasts will love this place as there is wilde boar, deer and roe deer. Rare birds like crane, ring ouzel, spotted flycatcher and the lesser whitethroat can also be spotted here.
Evaro is completely fenced and the gate can be locked, which will make you feel safe. There are quite some interesting features under the surface. The bottom of this old gravel pit obviously is gravel and it has some silt patches. The depths vary between 3 to 4 meters and the deepest point is 5 meters. In the middle of the lake carp anglers will find an interesting plateau, in some points only 1 meter deep!
Stocking
Just like Domaine de Brocard, Jonchery and La Renarde, Lake Evaro is part of the Centre de Pêche en Champagne Complex, owned by the famous fish farmer Mr. Bachelier. The management completed the existing stock with new carp to an estimated total of around 200 carp. A quarter of the stock are nice 30's and 40's. A couple of 50's and 60's from the old La Horre stock have been released into Evaro. Biggest fish so far is a stunning 35 kg - 77.16lb common carp.

Reviews
Great Lake we unfortunately picked the week the fish were feeding on naturals. The non grass swims were very stoney and punctured my groundsheet , not impressed as it was a brand new bivvy. Balif very helpful facilities adequate although battery charging was an issue.
Die Reise nach Evaro war ein perfekter Angeltrip. Der See mit seinen wechselnden Ansprüchen, angelehnt an die Jahreszeiten, hat mir einige gute Fische gebracht. Kein Fisch war unter 15kg, einige 20kg+ Fische waren dabei und die 30 kg Marke ist durchaus möglich. Der See ist allerdings nichts für Anfänger und Einsteiger. Jedoch steht Mark, der Wächter, mit Rat und Tat zur Seite um den Fangerfolg zu ermöglichen. Sehr großes Lob an seine Person.
Die sanitären Einrichtungen sind gut und die limitierte Anzahl an Angelstellen lassen fast den Eindruck entstehen, dass man allein am Wasser ist.
Alles in allem eine gelungene Woche. Ich würde jederzeit wieder kommen.
