Carp Fishing on the Lot River – The Ultimate Carp Holiday in France
Do you want to experience carp fishing in France on one of Europe’s most exciting rivers? The Lot River is the perfect destination for an unforgettable adventure. With its weir sections, changing currents, rugged nature, and incredible carp populations, no week is ever the same. From our boats, you can enjoy carp fishing in France in its purest form – raw, honest, and full of action.
Our carp boats operate from Friday to Friday on the upper navigable weir sections and from Saturday to Saturday on the larger, lower stretches of the Lot. Everything you need can be arranged: rods, reels, bite alarms, bait, marker buoy systems, and more. This allows you to create your ultimate carp holiday in France with Lot Experience.
Boat fishing and fishing on large public waters is where our passion lies. For over 25 years, we have spent countless hours on French rivers, and the Lot remains our favourite. Since 2018, we have been sharing this adventure with anglers from across Europe.
In Le Temple-sur-Lot, we rent out 5 fully equipped carp boats. On the wide, slow-flowing weir sections, you can fish all year round. Through the barrages, you can access other parts of the river. Upper sections such as Luzech, Cahors, Bouziès, and Saint-Cirq-Lapopie each offer their own challenges. A mix of high and low weir sections truly shows what makes carp fishing on the Lot so unique.
Boat Fishing on the Lot River – Our Passion, Your Adventure
The Lot River is divided into many different weir sections, each with its own character. On the larger, more challenging weirs, there is a strong carp population, partly due to natural reproduction. Here you can expect powerful, long mirror carp over a meter in length – with incredible strength.
In 2021, we started our Mirror Carp Project on the lower 26 km stretch, where we also live. So far, 110 mirror carp have been released. In the upper sections, you’ll encounter mirrors slightly more often, although the population there is smaller.
What you experience everywhere: hard runs, intense battles, and carp of impressive size. Forties, fifties, and with a bit of luck even sixties – they swim in nearly every weir section. On every part of the Lot, you have a chance to catch a new personal record.
