News from Old Oaks lake

Old Oaks Facilities............., 1st May

Since last summer 2005, we have spent months and months to build a perfect new venue. Our only target was to make an ideal and comfortable fishery for carp anglers. Each detail has been thought through to improve the quality of the holidays.

The lake is totally trees lined with poplars, willows and Old Oaks making fresh shadow for the hotter months of the summer. This 36 years old gravel pit was dug at the same time as Laroussi. The first thing was to clean around the lake, the brambles, grass, the branches, the dead trees and underwater snags, because it was totally wild and natural. Then we have made new fences to keep it private and secluded.

There are 5 swims from one side of the lake so there are no problem between anglers. One is a natural point and 4 news pegs; there is enough room for bivvies and all the carp fishing gear. A gravel track from the gate to the lake and a car park are also very usefull for the comfort of the holiday. There is a picnic area in front of the facilities which include a barbecue and a wooden picnic table .

We have built excellent facilities for Old Oaks: Inside the chalet you will find: washing facilities including a sink and a high tap to fill up your bottle of drinking water, a work surface with a lot of English plugs for the batteries, baitboats, mobile phone etc......, a hot shower, a wash basin in exotic wood and marbel, an English style toilet, 2 brand new very big Lieberr fridge for your food and freezer for your bait and a outside plug for your electric barbecue.

We sell PVA bags, boilies, pellets and partiblend on site. We hope all our efforts and details will make an excellent holidays for you and your party.
