Lac Tournizet

Lac Tournizet is situated on the same complex as Etang des Caillats in the heart of the Champagne region near the city of Vitry le Francois bij het mooie plaatsje Vitry-le-Francois. In this city you will find all the shops, supermarkets and retaurants you need. You can also find a couple of hotels.

Lac Tournizet proves to be more of a runs water then Caillats, but there are also plenty of 30’s,  40’s and a couple of 50’s and a 60+ in the lake. We estimate that there are arround 300 carp in the lake. You can eather book the southern ord northern half of the lake or book the lake exclusively.  On each of the sides there is a cabin with electricity (European sockets!), a fridge/freezer combi and a table with two benches.  

Largest fish we know of at the moment is 64lb. There is one catfish and not a lot of silverfish because of the pike that are in the lake. Depending on the season there can be weed and crayfish in the lake. Because of that we advice you to bring a boat  so you can drill the fish from the boat if necessary. It is possible to rent a rowning boat. 

  • It may be that Dominique is not present at the moment of arrival. Just drive to your swim and start fishing. No problem. The owner is not present at the complex all day long. He assumes that his guests know the rules and don’t break them.
    Do not assume  that Dominique will provide you with the latest tips. He is primarily the host and loves to receive guests on his lakes, but he is not a gifted carp angler! Fortunately, on our website you can get enough info for a successful week, or ask us directly. We have fished the lake several times.

Diverse keren hier gevist maar wisselend gevangen. Maar dat hoort erbij. De voorzieningen zijn top en worden nog beter. Echter de laatste keer eind april 2023 was er vrij veel vissterfte. Ik hoop dat daar iets aan wordt gedaan. Ook vind ik de stekken te klein voor 3 personen, zeker de zuid stek. Dat maakt de prijs stevig.

Bijzondere 5 dagen gevist met vissen van 47, 47, 46, 46, 44, 42, 3x 39, 34, 32, 30, 30 en 3 vissen onder de dertig pond. Een koi van 26 pond en twee spiegels van 26 pond. Wij moesten nood gedwongen naar huis wegens ernstige rugklachten van mijn vismaat. Maar ben 8 april weer terug.

Laatste week van september gevist op tournizet, super week gehad, hadden met twee vissers 74 vissen,zwaarste vis 25 kg, ook zaten er twee kois bij, zal moeilijk worden om dit nog te evenaren. Prachtig water, mooie en verzorgde stekken, en een zeer vriendelijke eigenaar. Komen we zeker nog terug in de toekomst.

Weekje gevist op Tournizet zuid.

Van 29-09 t/m 08-10-2022.

Was niet erg wild, maar toch nog 12 vissen gevangen waarvan 4 dertigers en 2 veertigers.

Was nog lekker weer, zo rond de 18 graden.

Vind het wel aan de prijs, maar heb je ook een lekker huisje bij met stroom en koelkast.

Stek zou voor 3 man zijn, maar dat vind ik echt te krap voor deze stek.

Verder heerlijk gezeten, maar volgende keer toch maar naar Noord waar de vangsten over het algemeen beter zijn.

Eigenaar is super aardig en komt elke dag vers brood brengen als je dat wilt.

Kortom……altijd lekker om op Tournizet terug te komen en dit weer te boeken bij de jongens van Carpspots

We hebben er weer een mooie week Bij Tournizet opzitten.

Bij aankomst stond de bestelde mais al klaar.

Het is lekker luxe karper vissen ( chalet met stroom en koelkast ).

Super aardige beheerder die elke morgen je croissantjes en stokbrood komt brengen.

Wij hadden t/m maandag 10 stuks en toen viel het een paar dagen stil en vingen de laatste 2 dagen er nog 5 bij.

Karpers zien er goed uit en zijn sterk.de meeste zaten tussen de 12 – 18 kg.

de zwaarste waren 22,6 kg en 25,2 kg.

We komen zeker nog een keer terug.
