Overview
Following on from his success with Laroussi, Mehdi Daho opened a new carp fishing lake just across the road in March 2006 – he called it Old Oaks. We’ve worked with Mehdi for over 20 years now and he is without doubt one of the most dedicated owners we have met. His knowledge of carp fishing, his attention to detail and his sheer love of what he does means that any fishery he's involved with has to be a success... and Old Oaks is definitely a carp France success.
This lake is hired exclusively for groups of up to 5 anglers and there is some unbeatable big carp fishing - the biggest common in this lake is now over 82lb and we've lost count of the number of 40lb+ and 50lb+ carp here. This is a challenging water where the rewards are simply huge.
The lake does have bait to purchase an baitboats to hire on site, please see the 'bait' tab and 'facilities' tab on this page for full info, pricing and how to order.
If you're finding it difficult to book the date you want at Old Oaks, it is well worth checking out the lake's famous big sister Laroussi.
Interested in fishing this venue without having to book the whole lake? Old Oaks accepts non-exclusive bookings for individual anglers in the winter months (roughly last week of Nov to beginning of Feb), with a large winter discount. If interested, you can contact us by emailing support@anglinglines.com or phoning our office.

Scott Ratcliffe
"The lake is just the perfect size for a small group, and it’s teeming with fish just waiting to be caught! What we really love about it is that this lake challenges you a bit, making every catch feel incredibly rewarding. Medhi and his family are fantastic - they're around when you need them, ready to share their valuable insights and tips on what methods are really working on the lake."
Chris James
"7 carp : 66.8, 52, 44, 39, 33.8, 22, 18 - an average of 39.3lb. Mehdi was really nice and knowledgeable, always there on hand to help out and dropping bait off if needed. It’s definitely not an easy water to catch but would definitely recommend and the rewards are monsters!"

Mehdi
"I’ve been developing Old Oaks as a carp fishing venue for over 20 years, and I live on site here with my family. I speak good English and am always happy to help if needed. I’m also a long-distance casting champion and, on a different note, hold a world record in vegetable growing! I greatly enjoy sharing both of my lakes with guests - it is a joy to witness so many new PB's each year."
