Cretelakes is a beautiful 5 lake venue set in 130 acres. The lakes are former gravel pits dug around the mid 1970s and around this time they were stocked with carp and other course fish.
The venue was left undisturbed to flourish and mature with its tree lined banks and stocks of fish for three decades, we secured the lakes and set about creating a carp fishing holiday complex that would be one of the best in France . After six months of tree removal and other obstacles 60 swims were created including 9 doubles across the 5 lakes. As the years passed the lakes were stocked with fast growing French carp including many 40lb+ fish and at present Cretelakes can boast some of the heaviest stocked lakes in France with literally hundreds of carp over 50lb, with many 60s a few 70s and the biggest residents over 80lb that are still growing year on year, Lake 5 alone holds over seven hundred 35lb+ Carp, so with stocking levels of this calibre Cretelakes is a firm favourite amongst anglers.
