Mark spent 6 weeks at Cavagnac fishing in 2020 and returned in 2021 for 7 weeks under the previous ownership. "I fell in love with the tranquility and beauty of the place. Having worked in Aviation for over 26yrs and in 7 different countries, I decided it was time to focus on my carp fishing passion. My bulldogs Marler and Elsie join me on this journey. I am committed to the preservation of this lake's beauty and the well-being of the fish. Together, along with the help of dedicated bailiffs and admin team, we hope to continue creating the perfect fishery/nature reserve"

Lac Cavagnac, offers people passionate about nature and fishing the perfect setting. It is located approximately 1km from Bournazel in a magnificent village surrounded by humid fields, lands and woods. With views of the castle (a jewel of the Renaissance) and surrounding landscapes it exudes history of the last century. Previously, the lake was used for breeding tench, perch, pike and silver fish. Every two years, it was completely emptied and the fish sold, except the carp which have always been put back into the lake. Over the years, we have added more and more stock and it is now home to around 1000 carp. 

 

The lake is 52 acres with a perimeter of around 3200m, its depth can reach 15 feet and is 490 meters above sea level. Made up with 3 large bays and with 3 springs (1 situated in the middle of the lake) it favours biodiversity and wintering spots. Cavagnac is now part of heritage protection because of its ecological and landscape history.

Cavagnac Lake is home to some of Europes Legendary Carp. The Lake holds some stunning looking carp with well over 1000 to date. This includes a good range of mixed commons, mirrors, linears and leathers.
