Useful Information
Fishing permits
Fishing permits are only required on one of our venues – Mas Bas. They are NOT required on any other venue.
Passport & other Documents
A valid passport is required - please don’t leave this until the last minute! If traveling by car or minibus, your insurance, driving license and owners registration documents should also be taken.
Driving in France
Driving in France is usually a pleasure - the roads and motorways are not as crowded as in England and pass through some wonderful scenery. We will supply you with detailed directions and information on motorway tolls etc, so you are well prepared. The costs of diesel and petrol is generally much cheaper and the motorways have numerous service stations and rest areas where you can stop and rest or picnic in pleasant surroundings. Click here to learn more about driving in France.
Plan a Route
We use the Michelin Web site to help us plan the best routes to a venue in France. You can choose the quickest route (usually using motorways which charge tolls) or the more scenic journey. Click here to access the site.
Insurance
We all hope nothing will go wrong but if it does you need to be prepared... we offer very competitive rates for insurance - it really doesn’t cost that much to have the peace of mind & we can arrange all this for you.
The Language
Even if you speak no French at all the language need not be a problem. Most venues are English spoken and we will also provide you with a sheet of useful words and phrases. However, because we have booked everything in advance there should be no real problems for you to contend with. You will always find the owners of the lakes helpful and welcoming and we remain only a phone call away at any time….you can call both our French and English numbers.
The Angling Lines Team
David Keep is our Managing Director. A dedicated carp angler himself, he has fished most of the major French waters taking carp to 53lbs. "Being a carp angler myself I've a pretty good idea of what you need from a carp fishing holiday. Choosing the right venue is very important - lets face it we don't get many holidays each year! We're proud of the venues we're working with currently - I'm sure you can find something to suit you." |

Bridget Dawson is our Sales Director and is likely to be the person you speak to for more information Her knowledge of the venues is second to none. "I appreciate that each angler is looking for something different from their carp fishing holiday - it might be lots of fish, size of fish, facilities on offer, distance to travel. Using my first hand knowledge of the venues it's my job to help ensure we meet and exceed your requirements for the perfect holiday. We set up the business more than10 years ago and our reputation is based on that personal effort to get things right first time. Our clients seem to appreciate this and keep coming back... and believe me, there’s no nicer feeling than picking up the phone to take a repeat booking!” Feel free to contact me on bridget@anglinglines.com |

Linda Latham Linda works alongside Bridget in the sales team and may well be the person you speak to on the phone. Linda also covers the phones some evenings and alternate Saturday/Sunday mornings. Since starting this job she has become a keen carp angler herself and we are pleased to say her PB currently stands at 42lb, caught at Mas Bas, one of the Angling Lines venues. “Carp fishing is infectious and just like everyone else in the business helping folk choose the right holiday to try to fulfil their dreams means an awful lot” Feel free to contact me on linda@anglinglines.com |

Julie Crookes is our Office Manager and is responsible for the day to day running of the business. "We aim to run an efficient and friendly business.
