Rouge is a breath-taking 4.5 acre stream and spring fed lake. All banks are flat and much of the bank side is ideal for the less abled bodied angler. The lake, whilst being relatively snag-free, has a range of features to fish to including an island, a gravel bar, overhanging trees, slight silt bottom, shale bottom, and depths from three to fifteen feet. Fish are caught from every swim on this magnificent lake in a variety of methods.
This lake was converted into a catfish only lake In 2016 and holds roughly the same amount of catfish as Lake Bleu. There are plenty weighing in the the upper regions of 70's, 80's and 90lbs plus at least 10 over 100lbs, the largest when weighed in 2016 was 116lbs, however these all must have grown over the past few years! In March 2017 we added four stunning Albinos which we estimate will be weighing over 30lbs each by the start of this season.
During the closed seasons we happily re-homed hundreds of Wels Catfish along with any catfish that were smaller than 40lbs to some local lakes. Once these smaller catfish are big enough they we will reintroduced back to one of our lakes at Exclusive Angling Holiday.
We are sure that Rouge, like Bleu, will be an absolutely awesome catfish lake.
