Woodslake
Woodslake is only a couple of hundred yards from the Goncourt complex, yet the strains of fish present are totally different. All the usual amenities are present and the swims are all accessible by car. A peninsula has been built in July 2007 to reach the island. It is now possible to fish from the island for booking made on exclusive basis.
The lake is quite prolific with around 250 carp present up to 45lb, these make good use of the feature full mature 15 acre lake with a central area. The cats run up to 140lb and the average size is around 40-70lb. Plenty of fun is to be had in pleasant surroundings
This lake was once a discreet underrated venue compared to the other Goncourt lakes, but now with the fish having grown in peace for years the venue proudly stands comparison for the quality of fishing it provides.
The baker comes to the complex for bread delivery every Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. If required, the anglers can be delivered pizzas on the lake on the Friday evening.
The peninsula at Woodlake has been prepared so that our guests may enjoy a session on an exclusive group booking basis, during weeks whith multiple individual bookings, the peninsula shall be closed so as to allow equal water opportunity. It is possible that during high water levels, notably in the spring the peninsula may become flooded and none accessible to fish from or setup on. Not fishing from that area does not change or alter in any way the quality of fishing in any way or form, it only means that members of the same group are not so close together. In any case the lake owner will solely decide if the fishing is accessible for the week or not from the peninsula. Under no circumstances shall the denial of access to the peninsula warrants or justifies of a complaint or refund, the access of which is dictated by current and forecast weather conditions and by sole decision of the lake owner or manager.
