RULES OF NEW HEAVEN CARP CAMP
Before booking your stay and starting fishing, we invite you to carefully read our regulations which must be strictly followed. This regulation has been established with the well-being of our fish and our customers in mind.
After reading our regulations, you can send your questions to the address dioukoutfitters@gmail.com.
Lac Simoné is located in the middle of a nature reserve, with only one access road, has no noise pollution and no roads nearby, no railway, and no power lines
WHEN YOU ARRIVE, PLEASE FIRST CHECK IN AT THE RECEPTION
Reservations for fishing swims per week are confirmed upon receipt of a 50% deposit (unless otherwise agreed), which can be paid by check or bank transfer. The remaining 50% must be paid upon arrival.
Vehicles may only be parked in the designated parking areas at your swim after unloading.
Fishing weeks run from Saturday (arrival between 2:00 pm and 4:00 pm) to the following Saturday (departure between 9:00 am and 11:00 am).
Reservations for 72-hour sessions must be made 3 weeks in advance.
No arrivals or departures are allowed between 6:00 pm and 9:00 am; please take this into account. The lake gates are closed every evening for safety reasons.
The mandatory 50% deposit for all reservations will not be refunded under any circumstances. In case of cancellation more than 2 months before the scheduled arrival date, it can be transferred to a later session within 12 months. In case of cancellation less than 2 months before the scheduled arrival date, the deposit is forfeited.
For 72-hour sessions, no cancellation or refund is possible; the lake has only three fishing swims, and we cannot afford to say no to two anglers who want to reserve a full week.
No refund, transfer, or credit will be granted in case of early departure of the angler, regardless of the reason.
For a non-angler, we charge €25.00 per night.
The lake is free for children under 15 years old accompanied by 1 adult angler. We allow a maximum of 1 adult angler per child.
• It is strictly forbidden to fish from one swim to another (for example, fishing from swim 'The Pines' while you are on swim 'Chez Pierre') or to exceed the indicated boundaries that will be indicated upon your arrival.
• Maximum of 4 H-type or floating markers per swim. Keep your dogs on a leash and under constant supervision of the owners. Please clean up after them.

• We provide floating unhooking mats, weigh slings, landing nets, and weigh bars for hygiene reasons. Retention slings or Sling bags are strictly prohibited.

Take photos quickly, with only one angler holding the fish in their arms. Anyone caught handling a fish out of the water, both during the day and at night, will be immediately banned. (We all know that a carp can sometimes be slippery, especially if it weighs more than 30 kg and falls on the ground... thank you for your interest and respect for our fish)

• Grains are prohibited, except for sweet corn. Pellets and baby corn are allowed.
