THE OWNERS

ETANG des "DEUX PIERRES" is owned and run by Graham Wall and Jane Anderson, Graham is a carp angler with 25 years experience of fishing a great variety of waters from small club waters at home to the mighty lakes of France, Romania and South Africa.  Graham is nearly always on the lake for help and advice and when not on site one of our representatives is always at hand to help.  Grahams long term (and long suffering) partner Jane (Lilly) takes care of things in the office and all manner of behind the scenes chores, to keep things running smoothly.

THE LAKE

Deux Pierres is a stunning 14 acre lake with an island and it is set in the famous Champagne region of France just ten minutes from the market town of Vitry le Francois and is an easy 4 hour drive with stops from the ports of Calais, Dunkerque and Boulogne. The lake is fully enclosed with a two metre high fence with lockable gates.

There are 10 swims some of which could easily be doubles for a maximum of 8 anglers. This gives anglers plenty of room with some swims having the option of fishing the island and others having plenty of open water with various features to each swim from the obvious margins to overhanging trees, the island, various bars and troughs, gravel, sand and silt pockets. 

THE FISH

The lake was originally stocked with 170 carp in 2002. These fish were not fished for until September 2006 when I went there to do some test fishing. The fishing was obviously prolific with 50 fish averaging 21 pound caught in a short session of only fishing days. However, since then we have been piling the bait in including 1 ton of high protein carp pellet and the fish are growing very quickly with many of the original stock now being 28-30 pounds (January 2007).

We have also added a further 60 carp, the majority of which were 30+ including several 40’s up to a brace weighing 46-8 each (common and mirror). These are all farm bred fish and are expected to put weight on quickly once on the pellet and bait.

There are no poisson chat or bream to our knowledge, however we have caught several rudd over 3 pound on small baits. One catfish has been stocked at 72 pound and there are apparently 6 huge grass carp that have yet to show themselves.  The fish are regularly fed on high protein carp pellet.

3.5 tons of CARP ADDED - 2007
 
We at "Deux Pierres" are proud to announce that we have increased the stock added in Oct/Nov 2007 to 3.5 TONS.  The original order was as follows:-
 
1. 1 ton of Carp 12-14 kilo (26-30lbs) 80 FISH
2. Half ton of Carp 14-16 kilo (30-35lbs) 32 FISH
3. 10 Carp of 18 + kilo (40+lbs) 10 FISH
 
We have now added to this with
4. Half ton of Carp 8-10 kilo (17-22lb) 60 FISH
5. One and a half ton of Carp 10-12 kilo (22-26lb) 140 FISH
 
So we can now safely say we have 500 + carp in the lake to 50 plus.  There will be a few mores surprises in store so please keep an eye on Latest News for 2008 at "DEUX PIERRES".
