Family Fishing ~ La Butte!
La Butte is a family friendly fishing lake with excellent accommodation.
The lake at La Butte is man-made, carved from the clay and fed by three natural springs. Therefore, La Butte doesn't suffer from the droughts that affect
many other fisheries in the area. The lake in turn feeds the local stream, 'La Riverolle' which has kept the village of Mouliherne supplied with water
for centuries.
We've taken great care to prepare the lake for your enjoyment, as well as sport. In the late summer of 2006, major works were underaken to extend the
banks, and to deepen the waters. The waters were stocked that spring with over a ton of specimen carp ranging from 8lb - 37lb, (mirror, commons, grass
& crucian as well as ghost & koi), along with a quantity of tench, bream, zander, pike, & perch. The past three years have seen an intensive feeding and
breeding programme, as well as the painstaking process of cleaning out much of the intrusive weed and lily beds. A path has been created around the
perimeter of the water, so you can safely choose your swim. There are several swims - some natural, some created mechanically. All have been fished with
success. See the gallery for pictures of the ones that didn't get away!
Please have safety in mind when using the lake, it is unfenced, and the water is up to 8 feet deep in places.
Remember - your children are YOUR responsibility, please have a safe and happy holiday at La Butte.

We provide fishermen (and women) with storage for their tackle, as well as bait fridges and advice. If you'd like us to set up some rigs for your arrival,
we can do that too.
Advice is offered in the form of a booklet in the house, describing the best baits and methods, but feel free to use your own tried & tested methods,
but be sure to let us know what works for you too!
Feel free to use the old mobile home by the waters edge for storage, reading & relaxing or simply escaping the heat of the sun!
Fishing well!
The boys returned with beaming smiles, and have been regaling everyone here at La Butte HQ with their fishermen's tales! Hmmmmm!
New-look website
Alongside the run-up to our first full season of letting, we thought we'd give the website a makeover too! So we asked our friend Stu, who lives close to La Butte, to give it a new, fresh look and we're very happy with the results. We hope you like it as much as we do!
