St Mathieu Lake is a 14 hectare lake surrounded by forest, however there are many swims that are accessible with a fly rod.

It is a category 1 lake so the season is limited from early March - 30 September.

The lake benefits from being well sheltered giving the visiting angler a choice of little bays and larger stretches to cast a fly.

We have seen small perch, chub and carp in the lake.

You can fish the lake with conventional coarse tackle if you fancy a change. We have coarse and fly outfits at the house for rental if you wish.

With the recently introduced 1 day fishing permit for just 10 euros, this can be an ideal day for everybody, as swimming is allowed in the lake.

There is an artificial beach for those who may prefer not to fish, and a beautiful walk around the lake.

The bar and resturant pictured below is open most of the day and serves some superb value for money meals.

Their lunchtime "plat de jour" starts from around 10,00 euros for three courses including wine!!
