Bassin du Lampy Neuf is a compact 23-hectare reservoir in southern France offering reliable carp and catfish fishing from the bank, with day fishing only and a peaceful setting ideal for focused sessions. Located 522 miles south of Calais in Aude, it's best suited to anglers seeking intimate water rather than big-name venues, with good tench and bream adding variety to your catch. You'll need a valid French fishing licence and AAPPMA membership (contact Fédération Pêche Aude) — check access permissions before your trip as small reservoirs can have restrictions.
At 522 miles from Calais, Bassin du Lampy Neuf requires a longer journey from the UK, but Occitanie — a region of warm summers and excellent coarse fishing, particularly for carp and catfish — rewards the trip.
