Lee & Tracy have been developing great additions to the Glehias lakes. In 2014 they completed the wonderful floating cabin and now they’re paying particular attention to the swims on the lake… Last winter, over a cup of hot chocolate and marshmallows, we discussed what lake projects and general maintenance projects would take priority this year. Due to water […]

We welcomed the Miller brothers Jamie and Grieg for our season opener at Lillypool, both of the boys on their first trip to France. It hasn’t been ideal weather for the first few weeks of the season but after a walk of the lake we all felt confident of a few fish. The guys both […]

Ross Hunter returns with an article on his session fishing Brocard Large, a 39 acre water that embodies everything a traditional French carp lake should be… Angling can be very hard at times, and at others very easy, seeming that you can’t put a foot wrong. Then at other times just impossible and no matter what you try, the species […]

Before we opened for 2016, works […]
Hi there, my name is John Allen and I am a “mature angler”, I was raised on Redmire Pool carp news (never been there, yet alone fished it). This was something I avidly read about through Angling times, when it was a massive newspaper, describing how the latest lump was caught on a worm, bread […]
A quick round-up from Nick Burrage after his recent session on Jonchery… “Starting our week with a breakdown on the M25, then four frosty nights and freezing winds, wasn’t the start we were after to be honest. Little did I know that after a very quick bite, resulting in a 49lb plus mirror; that this […]

A repost from last year, this is a subject I never see covered anywhere despite mentioning it in several of my articles in the past, but it is a vitally important issue which can’t be repeated often enough in my mind. Carp are cold blooded. This means that the carp is the same temperature as […]
A 71lb mirror out at Laroussi yesterday. That’s a 70lb+ carp out every month for the last 3 months and we’ve only had a handful of anglers out there braving the weather! There is still 50% off between now and March 4th if you fancy getting in on the action. You can find out what […]
A tale of a short, and very wet, UK carp fishing session from Rob Inns…. Being a father of 2 youngsters I tend to hang my rods up for 2 weeks each year over the Christmas period. The down side of this is that when it comes to catching the first fish of the New […]
With so many lakes available to fish in France there is literally a lake to suit every angler. Many anglers come across a lake they love and revisit every year while others like to try a different lake each time. With such a choice of lakes available I thought as lake manager of Lac Du […]
