27 fish in total to 41lb and 3 grass carp over 20lb.
3 new PBs for the group being 1 each in difficult conditions, a great weeks fishing.

Fishing the margins using Complex T pop-ups over lake pellet and particle using a Ronnie rig.

Better than expected
Yes - the cabin was perfect to stay in if you didn't want to fish the night, had all the facilities to self cater but you would be crazy not to get the food package...Angeline's cooking is not to be missed!

Absolutely brilliant lake with a good head of fish. Gary bends over backwards to make sure you catch and have everything you need. Angeline's cooking makes the food package unmissable with every meal a treat to eat. Generally a great holiday made truly brilliant by Gary & Angeline, we will definitely be back next year.

Mirror, Common and Grass carp to 41lb. Total of 27 fish.

Fishing in the margins due to the weather during the day and some open water during the night. Bait was typically Complex T Fluro pop-ups and some squid dumbbell pop-up on a Ronnie rig.

Better than expected. We stayed in the converted railway carriage, this was plenty big enough with all the necessary facilities for the 3 of us.

The lake is plenty large enough for 4 anglers. Our hosts Gary & Angeline were very welcoming and friendly. We opted for the food package and this was superb. Gary was very helpful with all kinds of fishing tips and tried his best to make sure you caught fish.

Smashed everyone's PB's, 27 fish caught to 41lb.

Due to the hot weather we fished tight to the margins under overhanging trees using Gary's rigs and bait! Pink worked well.

Better than expected.

Fantastic food with good sized portions and a great dining room overlooking the lake. Gary will do whatever he can to ensure you catch some decent fish. Listen to his advice and you'll be in for a great weeks fishing. Awesome weeks fishing made better by our hosts Gary & Angeline.

As I said in the visitors book. Gary & Angeline are two of the nicest people you could ask for. Nothing was ever too much trouble, the food was incredible, the fishing was great despite the changeable conditions. A first class fishery with a very bright future.
Thanks for having us.

13 fish to 25.4

When it was hot early in the week I fished the margins and close to the island. when the pressure and temperature dropped I caught in open water.all my fish were caught on Scopex squid pop ups an inch off the bottom on a ronnie rig with small PVA bag and pellet once they started feeding.


Brilliant kitchen facilities which include oven, grill, hob, fridge, freezer, hot shower, and the option of two separate bedrooms. Fantastic facilities .
Very happy

Eau de Vie is a beautiful venue. just driving through the gate makes you smile. It was clear it wasn't going to be an easy place to fish when we spotted fish pairing up in preparation for spawning. However thanks to the owners knowledge of his lake and some advice from a mutual pal I was able to put a few on the bank.
For the wife and I Eau De Vie has become much more than just another fishing venue. Angeline & Gary have become firm friends and we're already planning our next visit. Although we catered for ourselves in the fully fitted cabin we did get a chance to sample Angeline's cooking, the food package is recommended .
I'm 100% Eau de Vie will become a firm favourite on the Angling lines circuit it really does offer it all.
Thanks guys.
Andy.
