The lake is approximately 1800m2 in size, so whilst not huge is sufficiently large to give ample opportunity for two or three people to fish at the same time and sufficiently small to allow the less experienced not to be embarrassed.

Fishing is the big thing here at Le Moulin de Malineau. Most of our guests have fished, either as complete novices or more generally as experienced anglers.

We are fully stocked with Mirror Carp.

Our experienced guests have estimated there to be 100s of fish in the lake and that they are extremely healthy. They have seen this year’s fry and last year’s, so they are  breeding well.

There are some large fish, up to 10-12lbs and many smaller. So, like the lake, not massive but they are big enough to be sporting. As one of our guests commented it’s nice to know that you can just pop out for half an hour before a relaxed dinner and be reasonably certain of catching a fish.

Historically, they have been quite tame, eating sweet corn and bread that we’ve thrown in, as well as many other things - they appear to have a penchant for peanut butter sandwiches! However, now they have been fished for a couple of years they are a bit more wary, the larger, older fish in particular.

We do have some equipment here, so if you want to have a go with your son or daughter then feel free. If you’re more serious, you had better bring your own tackle.
