UK Carp’s Steve Board beats the Winter blues by crossing the Channel for some Winter.
What a grueller I’ve had – a dire few weeks with not a single carp landed. Add to that the filthy weather and it was no fun at all being out on the bank. Clearly I needed a bit of therapy.
With this in mind I rang David Keep from Angling Lines holiday company and asked if he’d anywhere I could go for a short winter break.. “Oh yeah, and can you make it easy so even I can catch?”
Within five minutes he’d returned my call and said he’d got just the place – Cedars Lake, just south of Paris. He went on to explain that the lake was four acres, with around 200 fish to just touching forty, but the real bonus was the two double swims, each with their own lodge behind complete with cooking facilities, beds and power. Now this appealed to me. No roughing it on this trip, we’d be fishing in style. We booked the ferries – we’d leave early Friday and come back Monday evening, giving us three night’s fishing with the chance of a few.
