Date of holiday: 12-07-2008 to 19-07-2008

No. of persons fishing: 3

Brief details of your catches: I fished Peg 7 and caught 35 fish, biggest was 28lb and the smallest was around the 7lb mark, overall catching nearly 600lb. One sturgeon of 37lb.Peg 8 had 15 fish, biggest was 37lbPeg 9 had 13 fish, biggest was 35lb

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: Peg 7 fished near the final stick on the mesh tunnel. Could have fished with a single rod, doesnt matter what bait used, i even caught off a water snail. Could not get the bait boat back before hooking a fish. Sturgeon Caught mid-water, aimed towards peg 6.Peg 8 caught the majority of fish mid water Peg 9 mid-water with a few coming from the right margin and tight to island.

Were the facilities what you expected? Ok, Nothing great but beats a thunder box

Were you happy with them?

Would you recommend the venue to a friend? If they wanted to catch fish but not break PB

General comments: The owner seems to know more English than he lets you think, and was sometimes late for breakfast and dinner. If you fish Pegs 7 - 10 or 6, watch out for the goats!!

Venue:  Roseau - Large Lake

Date of holiday: 12-07-2008 to 19-07-2008

No. of persons fishing: 9

Brief details of your catches: 30 x 30lb+ fish to 37lb. In total over 400 10lb+ carp, average weight 21lb. 5 sturgeon to 37lb.

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: We caught fish on large boilies, small boilies, pop-ups, meat, sweetcorn & floating biscuit - anything basically. Some points close to the island produced very quickly. Margins were poor. Bites soon after cast or very limited. Almost no runs at night.

Were the facilities what you expected? Worse

Were you happy with them? Just. Showers were good but locked overnight till 09:30 which is irritating if you want to shower before breakfast. The whole place needs some cleaning up & a lot of ground maintenance.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend? Yes

Would you recommend our services to a friend? No

General comments: Food package was disappointing for the money - which is a lot more than advertised on the website. The far bank needs work on the swims - too muddy & too far above the water. Generally excellent fishing, but the place needs some more love & attention. *** Note from Angling Lines. The food package price on the Website was correct at the start of the season when the exchange rate was 1.45 euros to the £. The exchange rate is now around 1.2 euros to the £. The rate fluctuates daily so we cannot continually update the price on the Website. However we do explain this on the Website. It says; "A complete food package (breakfast & evening meal) is available for £83 per person. If you book the food package you will be asked to pay a 10% deposit to Angling Lines and the balance to the lake when you arrive. Please note that due to fluctuations in the exchange rate the balance you pay when you arrive may not equate exactly to the remaining 90% in £’s sterling – it may be slightly more or less due to a change in the exchange rate." We also do tell customers how many Euros will be due. Hope this explains. We would NEVER deliberately mislead our customers on price.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend? For the fishing, fabulous

Would you recommend our services to a friend? Your services great, many thanks.

General comments: My view is that for the amount of English who provide a very good living for the owner, he should put himself out and learn English to communicate. Also do more to look after the swims, roads etc. What a fabulous venue it is, with absolutely great fishing with real quality fish, but venue lacks a lot of TLC. Putting aside it's faults we intend to book for next year.

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: we all fished with various baits and caught, i stuck to tigernut which seemed productive, my brother and mates used various boilies which were just as productive.we found using a baitboat either to the island or out to the centre of lake most productive although fish were caught everywhere. standard style safetey rigs were used by all of us no need to over complicate things.

It had been raining when we arrived and some of pegs were unfishable (11 & 12 in particular). Christophe needs to sort the swims out (pegs 2-6, and 11-14) and the bank we were on is eroding away. New shower block is great.

Brief details of your catches: For the full week i managed Several Carp to 8lbs, plus Three Sturgeon 26lbs, 30lbs & 36lbs, my mate Gary managed several smaller Carp plus two Tench around 2lbs, all fish bar one Tench where caught in the day light hours. The only time it did not rain was when it was snowing, the wind was very strong all week and the tempriture was very low, i think we did well for the conditions.

What did you find were the best tactics/baits: The best bait i found for the whole of the week was ''Red hot'' Pepparami on the hair with small P.V.A. bags of mixed pellets, all Three Sturgeon were caught close to the over hanging tree on the far left of the large lake as you approach it. The 36lbs Sturgeon i caught snapped me off the day before, i know this because i retrieve'd my hook back along with Three other hooks and a Feeder the next day.

General comments: Roseau lakes would benefit from a cash injection to the venue, their is only one toilet and one shower combined, this is for all male and female persons to share, and the hot water was hit and miss, the food was hot and plentyful though which was welcoming as it was very cold all week. ***** NOTE FROM ANGLING LINES **** New additional shower & toilet block will be completed in the next few weeks
