Woodpecker Pool, France

Welcome to our beautiful 2.5‑acre carp fishery, nestled in the heart of the Perigord Vert region of the Dordogne in the South of France. Surrounded by rolling countryside, peaceful woodland, and the gentle sounds of nature, Woodpecker Pool offers a truly tranquil escape for anglers and families seeking calm, comfort, and unforgettable fishing.

Set within its own private, secluded grounds, Woodpecker Pool is an exclusive‑booking lake with accommodation, giving you the freedom to enjoy the entire venue at your own pace. Just moments from the charming market town of Thiviers, the lake provides the perfect balance of rural serenity and easy access to local French culture, food, and attractions. Whether you’re here to fish, relax, or explore, the setting invites you to slow down and enjoy the beauty of this remarkable region.

The lake is home to an impressive stock of fish: carp to over 40lbs, grass carp over 30lbs, and a catfish of around 130lbs. Alongside these specimens, you’ll find a variety of smaller species ideal for friendly family fishing matches, making the venue suitable for anglers of all ages and abilities. Because Woodpecker Pool has not been heavily fished in recent years, the fish remain confident, curious, and obliging, offering exciting sport and memorable catches throughout your stay.

Whether you’re casting out at sunrise, sharing a family picnic by the water, or simply soaking in the peace of the French countryside, Woodpecker Pool offers a holiday that blends excellent fishing, natural beauty, and true relaxation. Whether you’re chasing your next personal best, wandering the lakeside at dawn, or exploring the charm of the Dordogne, this is a place where memories are made, moments are shared, and the lake becomes part of your story.
