Private Carp Fishing In France Trips You Can Enjoy

by

If you love to fish, then you will truly enjoy carp fishing in France. France offers many small lakes that have very large carp for you to enjoy. Most of these fishing resorts have catch and release policies, so those large carp that you catch this year will only be larger next year.

Many of the lakes that offer a French holiday for carp fishing are privately owned. This means that you will pay for the privilege of fishing in the lakes, but for the price you pay, you get the opportunity to fish the entire lake with a limited number of anglers fishing at the same time you are fishing. Many times, if you have a group of carp fishing friends, your group may be the only one on the lake.

Carp are a very large fish. It is not uncommon to catch carp that weigh forty to fifty pounds in these private lakes. In some cases, carp have grown to over one hundred pounds. Since you will be fishing catch and release, you will want to be sure that you bring a camera.

If you are new to carp fishing, there is some equipment that you will find useful.

Your fishing rod should be a minimum of six feet in length. It should be a medium action rod. Remember, that longer rods make it easier to land a big fish.

Choose a spin casting or spinning reel. The reel needs to have a good drag. It should hold up to 120 yards of fishing line. Most carp anglers use twelve pound test line.

Carp anglers use hooks from size 2 to 6. Since you will be fishing in a catch and release program, hooks should be without barbs. The particular lake where you fish may have specific rules on the hooks that can be used, so be sure that you check before you go.

When fishing for carp, remember that they will drop the bait at the slightest of resistance. For this reason, fishing corks are not generally used and only split shot or slip sinkers should be used to weight your line. This will help you to be more successful in your fishing.

Since there are no bobbers used, some anglers use a small piece of Styrofoam that is slit placed over the line between the first guide of the rod and the reel. The reel is left open so that the line is free. Styrofoam that hits the guide will be knocked off to get your attention.

If you plan a trip overseas think of Fishing in France. One of the best tips is to try some Carp Fishing in France. Enjoy a holiday with a quiet time fishing now!
