Lake Description

JB Lake

JB Lake is a 40 acres gravel pit and is part of the Goncourt Complex. The lake has never been fished before so the fish stock is unknown. The lake is over 20 years old and was originally stocked with over 600 hundred carp. Both mirrors and commons are present. The largest carp caught to date is a mirror of 60 lb. We estimate the average size of the fish to be 20lb plus with the fish growing by as much as three pounds per year.

The Lake

JB Lake is a typical gravel pit with gravel bottom, silt area and weed. The depth is 2 m to 3.5 at its deepest mostly 2 m though. You have access to all swims around the lake by car. You can park at the rear of your swims.

The lake's size makes it suitable for an exclusive booking for 16 anglers maximum or 14 individually booked anglers.

Important: you can't book a specific swim; on arrival there's a draw for the swim. There are plenty of swims, so everybody will have a good and nice swim.

This means that each angler will always have their own area of water to fish. The lake has an average depth of five to seven feet with quite a uniform flat bottom.

There are boats available on this lake and we recommend that these are used for weeded fish. When using the boats you must always wear a life jacket. Due to weather condition we might have weed during the warmer months. Because the lake hasn't been fished before, the fishing on JB Lake is considered to be easy with multiple catches regularly reported.

Facilities & Service

There are good, new facilities at JB Lake with shower and WC. The facilities also feature a fridge and freezer to store your bait and food. There are enough sockets to charge your batteries & mobile phones.

Pascale, the owner, visits the anglers every day to offer help and advise. On Fridays pizzas can be ordered and will be delivered on the swims.

There is 1 boat available on this lake and we recommend that these are used for weeded fish. When using the boats you must always wear a life jacket. Due to weather condition we may have some weed. The fishing on JB Lake is considered to be easy to moderate with multiple catches regularly reported.

Baits boats allowed and are recommended.
Dogs are also allowed but must be cleaned up after and the bags put into the bins.

Very well stocked lake. The lake is much better since the facilities are up and running.
I would say an easy lake to fish. I'm looking forward to going back in September. ☺
