Venue:  Beaurepaire

Date of holiday: 22-09-2006 to 26-09-2006

No. of persons fishing: 3

Brief details of your catches: 4 nights fishing resulted in 70 Carp to 29lb. 12 x 20's. Bream to 7.5lb

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: We fished from the spit and targeted various different areas in the lake. We floater fished, we float fished with paste and we ledgered boilies, trout pellets and large corn. All of the methods we tried resulted in fish. Largest float fished carp 23.5lb, largest floater fished 18lb.

Were the facilities what you expected? The directions are simple & it is a very easy drive down. The shower facilities are perfect and we made use of the cooking facilities (not least of all to boil up a sack of hemp!)

General comments: This is our third year with Angling Lines. They organise a fantastic fishing holiday. This venue is packed full of fish, it has some fantastic swims on it. The carp are in good condition and can be caught on all methods all over the lake. We had a brilliant trip and would recommend this venue to anyone looking for an easy to find water, easy to drive to, good facilities and a few screaming runs as well! We all had a great time and look forward to booking with Angling Lines again and again.

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: Whilst experimenting baits through the week My son Kevin found that using a snowman rig consisting of a bright pop up worked bagging him 21 carp up to 23lb 8oz, I myself fished the snowman rig, but on one rod i used a mugga hook with a matrix boilie presented off the back of the hook cacthing me 22 carp in the week including the biggest, weighing 25.8lb, due to us losing alot of fish the mugga hook seemed to prevent this from happening. Mike fished on a snowman rig but had a richworth ultraplex pop up on, cacthing him over 50 carp in the holiday, finally Gregg and Glenn had many of there fish on The Matrix giving them a total of 20 fish between them.

General comments: I am really unhappy about fishing a lake which was much altered due to the high water levels. We only booked it because it was small & fishable from the central spit. High water levels made this impossible. NOTE FROM ANGLING LINES.... one of the wettest Springs on record raised water levels and made bank conditions difficult on many of our venues at this time. We are sorry about this but it is obviously beyond our control.

Brief details of your catches: Unbelievable fishing!!! 63 fish, smallest 17lb, average mid 20's. 4 fish over 29lb.... 1@ 30lb 12oz

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: Fished left bank (looking from cabin) around 20m out (water level was very high so I was actually fishing just past the tree line). PVA bags of pellets and 3/4 grains of maize on the hook. Tried boilies but maize was the best. Pineapple boilies worked OK but not so good on fishy or meaty flavours. Every run was a screamer!

General comments: This session was unbelievable - I really didn't fish at night because I was too tired. I know it sounds ridiculous now but thats the truth! I fished from noon on the Friday & was gone by the Monday lunch & I only had one rod out on the Friday! Manic fishing! If you want action this is the place to come.
