The carpstock
The stock of fish inside Lac Bernard has a spread range of weights from 20lb to 56lb, All of them are mixture of Common and Mirror species. Fish have been stocked by a highly reputable French breeder. We will be adding more hand selected Big Carp and some large Pike.
The previous owner repeatedly over the years fed baguettes from the cabin so they are no strangers when it comes to floating baits, a number of fish have now been caught using this method which we know is a rarity in France.
We have no Catfish or Sturgeon in Lac Bernard.

All about the fish
Since 2022 the lake is equiped with a fully automated aeration & monitoring system. The global warming we are experiencing the last years has affected us all, also the fish. Therefore we needed to help them! 🙂
Our monitoring system gets constant readings of dissolved oxygen, PH, temperature & water conductivity. From end of march till september the aeration system runs 24/7 to keep the fish in healthy condition.
3 diffusers have been placed at the bottom of the lake. Don’t worry, it’s impossible to get your lines stuck at them!
