Carp Lakes Metz

The nearly 90-hectare estate features 10 different ponds that can be fished by carp anglers. With approximately 55 hectares of water surface, there is something for everyone: from runwater and koi lake to Big Fish water.

Close by, but in another world

Although the complex is located close to the city of Metz, it feels like you are in another world . Hidden away in green surroundings, in a peaceful area close to the Moselle River, you can enjoy the perfect balance between accessibility and nature.

On the way, you will also pass Luxembourg, which is ideal for filling up your tank at a reasonable price.
Book your ultimate fishing adventure!

For anglers who love space and freedom

Carp Lakes Metz focuses on anglers who appreciate variety, space, and flexibility. The management is open-minded: are you fishing at a particular lake, but would you like to try another pond? Then you can always discuss the possibilities with the manager.

Fish stocks and catches

2025 has proven to be promising. The largest fish came from Adventure Lake, weighing 26 kg. At the end of 2024, another 6,000 kg of fast-growing carp were released. These newly released fish are caught remarkably often—they are more eager than the older stock and provide a lot of action on the rods. Given the age and size of the waters, it is expected that there are even heavier, older carp swimming around that could provide spectacular surprises.

House Rules and Fishing Rules

1. Is there seaweed in the water?

Minimal. Almost all waters are weed-free, except for a few patches. This does not interfere with fishing.

2. How does booking work?

Via the page Ponds (Bookings) on our website, you can select your desired pond. You will then be taken to the booking page, where you can choose your spot and add non-anglers or children if necessary. The price varies depending on the duration: for 1 to 6 days, a standard daily rate applies, while the price per day decreases for bookings of 7 days or more.

3. What is the depth of the lakes?

Most ponds are between 2 and 4.5 meters deep, with the depth increasing rapidly at the edges.
Exception: Savage has a maximum depth of 3 meters and an average depth of approximately 2 meters. This is also the only water with a yellowish clay bottom.

4. Which pond and spot should I book?

Every spot on the grounds has its own charm. Choose the spot that appeals to you the most. Would you like to sit next to each other? Then book two spots side by side. All spots are within walking distance of each other.

5. Can I park my car at the spot?

Yes, you can park your car at all locations.

6. Are there sanitary facilities and charging points?

Sanitary facilities: There are five toilets, one indoor shower, and one outdoor shower, both with hot water.
Charging points: In the sanitary building next to the Passion pond, there are eight power outlets for charging batteries.

7. What are the by-catches?

Tench: Present in all ponds, but not in excessive numbers.
Grass carp: Present in minimal numbers.
Catfish: A small number at Adventure and only a few at Emotion.

8. Are there crayfish in the ponds?

Yes, both red and green crayfish are present in all ponds, but they are not disturbing and rarely touch your hook bait. At Capture, there are slightly larger crayfish and in slightly greater numbers than on the other waters.

9. Are there sufficient fish stocks and an old fish stock?

Yes, all ponds are very rich in carp, with 3 to 5 runs per day considered normal. The complex has been known for 30 years for its healthy fish stock, including some large, old carp that make for spectacular catches.

10. Can I pay in cash?

No, cash payments are not possible. All bookings must be made via the website.

I spent five days fishing the obstacle course on this lake and had some nice catches; the carp that were stocked here have great potential for the future. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to catch any of the older stock.
