This list will enable both the pioneer and beginner in search of good quality lakes. Due to the list being so large you will find only 50 % of regions covered within this issue, the other 50 % will be covered in a future update. Many of them can be located prior to setting foot on French soil by using a good quality large scale map, I find the Michelin map ideal. Steps to locating night lakes are as follows: 1. Choose the region/regions you wish to fish. 2. Search for the name of the lake in the index i.e. In the night list for the Ain region you will notice Etang du Comte a Couloz? The majority of French lakes are named after the nearest town or village. In order to locate the lake you must locate the village of Comte a Culoz. 3.

Once you have located the village look for the nearest areas of water i.e. lakes. 4. Shade the lake on your map with a highlighter. 5. If there are several lakes in the vicinity, you will need to carry out some reconnaissance on arrival in order to locate the exact one you are looking for. 6. On arrival enquire locally as to carp stocks, licences and night zones. Always have secondary waters marked on your map in case the first few don’t fulfil your criteria as a carp lake. 7. Small lakes (under 20 acres) may not be shown on the map, however once you locate the village from which the lake takes its name you will find the lake close by on arrival.
