La Folie
Congratulations, you have just found THE LOCATION THAT STARTED FRENCH CARP FISHING AS YOU KNOW IT TODAY!!! Just like Redmire started interest in UK carp fishing, the boilie revolutionised baits, IN 1990 LA FOLIE INITIATED TAKING CARP ANGLING TO A NEW LEVEL. A LAKE TO YOURSELVES, BIG FISH, GREAT GROUNDS AND ACCOMMODATION. What you see elsewhere today, is either a copy of our format or a variant of our winning formula.
Owned by Personal-Best-Angling.com since 1990 in a time when carp fishing in France was still very much in it's infancy La Folie has arguably been the most sought after location for Carp Fishing in France! The accommodation, the lake and the carp are now legendary.
You are left in peace and quiet. We consider La Folie anglers to be somewhat more discerning than most, we do not contact the angling press when a big carp is caught nearly every week and never seek free publicity. We think our customers deserve better which is why you have probably never heard of us before reading this!!
2010 sees our 20th season this speaks for itself! No promises of tons of fish added for the new season, no claims of glory a lot of new fishing venues offer, just solid year in, year out catches, backed up by our anglers logged catch reports, honest stocking and a track record longer than any other we know of in France. This venue is designed for the "thinking" angler who doesn't want a crowd around him when he catches a big fish, who wants far better than the average accommodation, who wants quality time with his friends or family and a very realistic chance to catch a carp or catfish beyond their wildest dreams. You will not be shepherded to swims like many other locations, you will not be bothered during your stay and nobody will be looking over your shoulder when you are trying to land a fish of a lifetime! We take anglers on trust but do visit during a stay and WE DO make sure your tackle is a per our rules. Single barbless hooks only, three rods and four anglers max. Two extra non anglers are allowed at no additional cost

Lake Photo!
Sourced by underground springs, La Folie was built in 1969 and is 2.5 acres in size
 One end is around 3 feet which drops to 12 feet at the far end. Lilies both red and yellow are present in the shallower parts. All banks are flat and ideal for the less mobile angler. No snags are present. Fish stocks here are fantastic but not overstocked as you see at so many locations, many are over 40 pounds in weight with the biggest touching a respectable 52+pounds. All of these fish have been grown on over many years are are certainly NOT instant biggies.  Lake record stands at over 68lbs....(died 1st August 04). Again she was also home grown! Record catch here is 2648lbs to three anglers in a week. A Large head of catfish are also present with most nearly all over 35lbs. Our largest cat is at present a staggering 132 lbs plus with another of 112 lbs. (no need to go to the Ebro!) We also have four Sturgeon, three Diamond backs and one blue. "Sid" the Blue likes to greet nearly every angler every week!! Check him out when he takes to the air!
Every swim is easy access and 90% are flat ground. This location is ideal for the less mobile person
Free use of rowing boat (at own risk)
