Club-managed freshwater quarry near Floreffe.
Carriere du Flato - Floreffe is a flooded Belgian quarry lake with a gentle entry slope and a wide freshwater basin. It is a club-managed training site known for big carp and pike, plus perch, trout, tench, and rudd, while sunken boats, planes, a glider, and other objects keep each lap around the lake from feeling repetitive. The quarry walls and open center make it easy to orient once you settle into the route.
