We’ve just received an early season report from one of our carp fishing venues in Normandy, Genets . Most lakes have, this last week or so, started to receive their first clients of the year. Conditions so far have been far from ideal. Here is a report from lake owner Heather Barber:
Genets in its summer glory
A wintry start for our first fishermen of the season at Genets;
No doubt this last week-end saw the start of the season for many Carp fishing venues in France, which makes me wonder how many fishermen were caught out by the extremely wintry weather we experienced over the week-end & in to Monday morning.
Our first fishermen of the 2008 season arrived on Saturday 5th April, 2 of them being returning visitors from last year. Although we had warned them to bring wet weather gear with them, as we were having a lot of rain, I’m sure they didn’t arrive expecting such a wintry start to their week’s fishing!! They had very sensibly brought warm clothing which they certainly needed.
