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.

Definitely

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!!

40+ carp caught to 35.8lb. Only myself fishing and only for periods of the day and 3 of the 7 nights. Most catches came early in the morning, mid afternoon and early evening.

Most tactics seemed to work, however the most successful was a 20mm boilie topped with a 14mm boilie (both bottom baits) fished over a prebaited area

They were more than what I expected. On arrival the gite and surrounding areas were immaculate. The pool was in pristine condition and kept the wife and kids occupied whilst I was fishing and also gave me a somewhere to cool off in the 30+degree heat.
Kim & Tony were the perfect hosts, always there when you needed them and likewise left you alone when you didn't. They are constantly on the go trying to improve the facilities but always considerate not to disrupt your holiday.

100% All of my fishing friends and family have been told. I just hope I haven't told too many people causing it to be over booked when I want to re-book
Could not fault Angling lines at all. Took away all the hassle of searching for ferry crossings. keeping me well informed of everything that was going on.

Brilliant experience, will definitely be returning.

Two anglers caught lots of carp from low doubles to 38lb, we didn’t fish all the time due to hot weather.

Bottom baits on multi rigs any boilies work, trout pellet also.. small bags work well.

Facilities are great no problems with them at all everything you need
Really happy with facilities and fishing

Fished days only from 10am to 10pm, caught 45 fish, 3 30's, 3 20's and loads of mid double commons and mirrors.

Started by using a baitboat loaded with pellet, boilies & particle, caught almost immediately. After a day I went over to using a single tuna bollie with PVA bag of pellet with tuna glug and caught just a many fish so continued with this method so as not to run out of bait.

it is exceptional. The accommodation is spotless and has everything you will need. You have the use of the swimming pool and a jacuzzi on your patio.
Owners 5*, accommodation 5*, lake 5*, fish 5* hopefully this will tell you all you need to know, it is worth every minute of the long journey

only 1 person fishing throughout the week and managed to caught 35 fish. The was only fishing parts of the day as well as the temperature was 30+ degrees.
Biggest fish caught 33lb 1oz mirror, followed by 31lb mirror. 11 x 20lb fish caught and numerous fish between 6lb & 16lb also caught.

I went for the simple approach and fished a single boilie bottom bait with a size 6 hook. Boilies and pellets were brought from the lake and fish were caught on all flavours of boilies.

No, the facilities were far better than what I had ever imagined. The photos really don’t do this place any justice, it really is one stunning place, not just to fish but to also spend relaxing.
Extremely happy with them.

This place really is a little gem and the photos really don’t do this place any justice. Its not only great for fishing but also for just relaxing and that is all down to the daily hard work put in by both Tony and Kim, and what a couple they are too, they go that extra mile to ensure that you have the best stay possible. Thanks Tony and Kim for everything you did for us.

1 Angler, 74 Carp and 1 black Bass. 6x30’s, lots of high 20’s and loads of hard fighting double figure commons. Largest fish of the week was a 35lbs 8oz mirror, largest common was 32lbs 6ozs.

An incredible week of fishing, especially when I did not fish at night, and fished a few hours in the morning, and about 5 hours in the afternoon early evenings, this was due to the high temperature 34 degrees on some days and lightening storms at night. The fishing was manic, getting a number of takes on the drop, I couldn’t get three rods out at times as every time I tried to get the third rod out, one of the other two would go screaming off ...... absolute madness ...... but I loved every minute of it.

Seriously, every bait I tried worked, majority of fish came from margin spots. I used various baits as I wanted to slow things down and get into some of the big girls in this amazing venue, but no matter what bait I used, something was straight on it.

Tony and Kim have obviously worked extremely hard to have an amazing complex. Everything you could ever want is at this venue, the pool was a god send in the hot weather, there is also a hot tub and free enterainmain from Cerano and Lucky (the Peacocks), funniest animals ever, the antics of these two had me crying with laughter.
Anyone who finds fault it’s this venue is purely nit picking, it’s everything an angler and their family could ever want. Tony and Kim have ongoing projects as far as they are concerned, the venue is not yet complete. As far as my and I are concerned, it was an amazing week, everything about the venue is brilliant.

100%. It is a long drive 7 hours, but worth it, we travelled on the night ferry to Caen and had a cabin, had a good nights sleep prior to the drive. Should have caught the night ferry back as our afternoon crossing meant we had to leave the venue early on the Saturday morning.
Always.

The first netting of the lake will be at the end of this season and I am sure it will be a serious big fish water. Until then, going this year, go and have fun and enjoy an amazing venue even though I did not land one of the big girls, it was still an amazing venue and if I can catch carp to order so can you, you might even be luckier than me and bank that big 60. My advice is book this lake while you can, soon to be one of the jewels in the crown of angling lines.
