Not a great week for fishing but they spawned on Saturday weather very hot 33 on sunday and Monday dropped to 13 on Wednesday between us caught over 40 carp 1 over 40, a couple over 30 and some in 20’s but way too many around 10lb including several under 5lb

You can catch fish anywhere but the big girls didn’t want to play

Tony and Kim have down a great job good looking lake with no issues the facilities inside were spot on great bathroom and well equipped kitchen, bedroom 2 let down by having no window, pool area better than any I’ve been to

1 x 43lb 7oz , 1 x 37lb 2oz, 1 x 30lb 7oz. 5 between 29lb and 20lb. 11 fish between 5lb and 19lb.

Simple hair rigs, with bottom baits, over baited areas in the margins. the bigger fish came on the 20mm scopex boilies available from Landes. Smaller fish came on 16mm krill boilies. We baited spots with the ble and trout pellet available from landes. All of our fish came at night the earliest being around 10.30pm and the latest being 7am.
The start of the week had difficult weather conditions with colder days and cold nights, but the baited areas started to produce fish after 2/3 days of constant (but not excessive) baiting. By the end of the week both margins and baited areas in the middle of the lake had produced.

Expectations were exceeded by several times !
Very very pleased with everything. Having said that I really must complain about the incredibly long wi-fi password which took me three attempts to get right!! (Only joking!)

This was the first time we had done a trip like this and cannot make any comparisons, so I can only say how delighted we all were with the venue as a whole, and our hosts Kim and Tony who made us very welcome. We went with the goal to beat our pb's which meant getting into the 30's, and we all achieved that which was great. We were getting a little concerned after no sign of fish for a whole day and night that we were doing something wrong, but we stuck at it and it came together in the end. For us it was the nights that produced despite trying all we could during the day they didn't seem interested, with the exception of 3 off the surface from stalking the margins.

Nice mix of commons and mirrors, quite a few 30s and two 40s caught plus various sub 30s. All fish in great condition and even some of the smaller 20s gave excellent fight.

Used all different set ups but found margins fished best. We only fished daytime/evening.

To be honest we had high expectations before arriving and the reality surpassed even these.
We have fished many venues over the years and Landes is by far the best we have ever visited. Tony and Kim could not of been nicer or more helpful and the accommodation and general set up was in our opinion perfect.

Absolutley could not fault.

15 x doubles, 4 x 20s, 3 x high 20s, 4 x 30s - 30, 31, 32.5 , 35.5 and the biggest catch of the week 45.5


Simple tactics bright pop ups.

I didn’t expect the facilities to be 5 star they were 6 star. Unbelievable.
The facilities were the best I’ve seen and lived in, it was a villa on the side of lake 10 meters from the lakes edge. Swimming pool, jacuzzi, BBQ evening night.

Caught 9 fish ranging from 12lb to 31lb we only fished from dawn to dusk. Caught from 1st light to 9.30 am

Plastic sweet corn over particles

The facilities were even better than we expected.
We had an outstanding holiday my wife and I. Tony and Kim were perfect hosts, they were there, if and whenever we needed them. It was lovely to walk in and find a welcome pack of food and drink, which was greatly appreciated after a long journey.Accomodation was lovely very clean and tidy, and it was great to get into the jacuzzi at the end of the day. Cannot fault this venue at all.

Would love to go back to Les Landes. Lovely to meet Kim and Tony.This is the place to go if you want everything in one package, and a very chilled out holiday, which is what my wife and I needed. Facilities are excellent for anglers and non anglers.

Total fish we had was 76 with 5x 30 plus and 12 fish weighing in high 20s and the rest below 20

Size 18mm single or with a 15 mm double on a blainey p spesh..

The facilities we way above expected get your own lodge bedrooms kitchen TV etc just like being at home but with the bonus of fishing for some lovely fish. A swimming pool hot sun and lovely hosts. Had a great time would definitely recommend here to anyone including family's the only way of explaining how nice it is is by going, won't be disappointed at all.
Very happy can'tvthink of a single bad word to say

Firstly I just want to say what a great venue Les Landes is! I honestly couldn't have wished for a better fishing vacation! Tony and Kim are extremely friendly, helpful, approachable and will do anything in there power to make your stay is the best. The only thing that upsets me is that I know it will be extremely difficult to book again, now and in the future to come! I wish Tony and Kim all the best. Right so down to the catch report.....we caught 43 fish between us in total. The biggest being 36lb on the nose. We had 4 30lb+, 13 20lb+ and many more between 5lb-19lb..... including 1 black bass which went for a snowman pop up (strange eh? Lol).

The best tactics that worked was 2 either 20mm or 18mm bottom baits on a supple braid, approximately anything between 6-9 inches long. Also the method that worked the best for the bigger fish was feeding chopped boilies every 1-2 hours and casting your hookbait on the spot 5 mins after feeding. Our bigger catches came from the corners of the lake, approximately 15-20 from the corner. Feeding pellet still worked but attracted the smaller fish. We used mainline cell and Sticky krill. But when running out of bait I purchased the squid and octopus from Tony which also caught me a few fish. Hope this helps.

Exactly what I expected and more...... absolutely tranquil place and cannot wait to return!
Yes, extremely happy!!
