OVERVIEW

Lac Claudette nestles down in the heart of the Mayenne countryside, surrounded by fields, woods, and the chatter of birds and nature. The lake has 6 swims and typically hosts a maximum of 5 anglers at anyone time.

Lac Claudette is a typical spring fed gravel pit, like a bowl in shape, with many features and a good variety of depths ranging from 40 feet in the middle to 10 feet or less on the plateaus and 2 feet on the far bank margins.

The surroundings of the lake are well maintained without affecting the rugged, natural look that makes Lac Claudette as tranquil as it is. The far bank has steep sloping sand banks with plenty of overhanging bushes. The main fishing bank is set among many gorse bushes with a number of bays. The bay to the right is extremely peaceful and provides great stalking opportunities, whilst beyond to the left there are many overhanging bushes where wary fish could be holding up and feeding.

FISH STOCK

The lake is home to roughly 200 carp up to 60lb and one large catfish in excess of 120lbs.
