Carp Fishing at Les Rivets

Welcome to Les Rivets website. My wife and I in March 2008 purchased a 9 acre lake set in 18 acres of land in the Yonne Valley ,after looking for over one year. My name is Adrian Atkinson, I am 54 years of age and my wife name is Jenny. I am a Computer consultant by trade and have my own limited company in the UK for the last nine years.

I have been fishing for over 30 years and started my Carp fishing in the Darenth Valley in Kent, yep I’m a Dartford lad. I have lived in Europe on and off for over twenty years, being Holland, Belgium, and France and have enjoyed fishing in most of the euro zone. I wanted to create a fishery with character not just a hole in the ground, so people can relax unwind and catch some big lumps and would want to return many times.

The Les Rivets Lake has lots of character with good depths, tree cover and had never been fished commercially before 2009. In the spring of 2010 we lost the whole stock of Carp and had to re-drain down the lake and remove all fish from the lake and then limed the bed of the lake. The lake is going to re-stocked with 260 Carp to over 40lbs which have ordered and will be stocked in Jan 2012.
