Facilities

Toilets and Showers

There is a clean flush chemical toilet at the entrance to the lake and it is just 600 metres to Lake 5 where there is a shower and toilet available all day.

Cooking and Eating

There is a large anglers’ cabin equipped with a worktop, table and chairs and gas fridge, for you to be able to cook and eat in comfort. A solar USB and three pin charging box for your phones and low amperage bait boat battery chargers is included in the price.

Tackle and Equipment Hire

You can hire Angling Technics MK3 Microcat bait boats with batteries and a solar panel or even an extra 44 litre capacity fridge and gas for the week to keep your food or beers cold. Please reserve these well in advance online, once they’re gone, they’re gone! We have a few bedchairs for hire if you need to save space in your vehicle, please contact Bill directly to reserve.

Lake Bait

We offer a range of bait that we have confidence in and we recommend the use of on all our lakes. Boilies and all the associated dips etc must ordered and paid for 2 weeks before your holiday, so that we can be sure to have them in stock for your holiday. If you wish to use particles then these must be purchased from us and should be ordered, at the latest, two weeks before your holiday but will be paid for on arrival. All our prepared particles are cooked fresh for when you arrive and supplied in buckets with snap seal lids. We suggest that you order what you need to start with and we can top you up with freshly cooked bait during the week with no problem.

Water and Electricity

There is a solar USB and three pin charging box for your phones and low amperage bait boat battery chargers in the cabin. Set in the middle of the countryside this lake has no drinking water, but mineral water is reasonably priced at the supermarket.

River Fishing

As a little bonus a popular feature near Bill's Lake 2 is the River Marne, which is just across the field. This river is full of fish and shoals of Chub and Barbel can even be seen from the margins. It also holds some huge carp and cats for those who want to try. It requires a slightly different approach to lake fishing but carp gear will be fine to catch fish from the river. A long handled landing net is advised as the banks are high when the river is low. Permits are easily purchased online from the river authorities and the site is in English.

Local Services

The shops can be found nearby with a Hypermarket and McDonalds being only 5 miles away. There is a fantastic bakery on the main road in the village of Matougues. Cigarettes can only be purchased from a Tabac in France, the nearest is about 3 miles away. We even have a local Pizza shop that will deliver Pizzas and Kebabs to the lake! Details and directions are all provided at the lake.
