Mark Lambert recently spent a week fishing his own venue, Villefond, and recorded it in this short video clip. We see carp to 40lb+ and Dan the catfish makes an appearance at 75lb. Superb fishing! Carp fishing in France at Villefond
If only there was an easy solution of working out when our favourite species of fish feeds. There are triggers that we are all aware of such excessive low pressure fronts, new warm winds and thunderstorms. For those who can bare it out in extreme weather conditions the results can be quite productive. But do […]
Magical Boux Hi Paul, I have booked a week on Boux with some friends and my son… can you give any info on the best way to approach the fishing at the fishery thanks. Peter Hi Peter, A lot will depend on when you have booked your visit to Boux. One of the reasons for […]
This post first appeared on the Quest Baits Blog & is reproduced with kind permission. Last week I posted a catch report to our website and mentioned that I had caught the fish on an ultra light aerodynamic home made long range pop-up. This has caused a fair bit of interest with anglers asking me how they […]

I have been testing new waters for Angling Lines for a number of years now and each lake has its own challenges. Unfortunately with some of the new waters there is little or no information available to research for a forthcoming trip. 2nd visit to Blue Lake… what a transformation! My next visit to France […]

Readers Question; Hi all, I started making my own boilies, but a bit confused at to which flavours to use at which time of year. One person told me fish flavours in winter and frutti in summer, then someone else told me the opposite. Any suggestions welcome. Mike Hi Mike, The actual flavour has little […]

As the summer storms ahead you could be forgiven for thinking it was still spring as the weather of late has been everything but good. Stalking is probably one of my most favoured ways of tackling carp, the idea of picking your way through a bush and positioning yourself in that perfect area with just […]
Andy Neal discovered just what it means to be a fishing coach for a day; ‘When Sparsholt College in Hampshire got in touch to say they were running their annual FLC coaching day I just had to be there. This day is organised by Sparsholt College fishery students and is there to give other students […]

I often get ask by anglers when they arrive what are the best tactics to use, what bait catches the most, what fish are in the lake and all the other information we anglers like to know. But of course once you are here it’s too late to pack that extra rod or bring that […]
A large proportion of anglers carp fishing in France still prefer to use free running lead set-ups incorporating little or no bolt effect. This combination of no bolt effect, slack lines and slack bait runners results in many anglers missing many takes, or when the anglers are winding down to the carp and striking to […]
Finger Painting @ 39lb Wow the weather in May at Villefond has been a little crazy the torrential rain of April carried over to the start of the month and was quickly replaced almost over night with really high temperatures. The inevitable effect of this was that the fish turned there attention away from feeding […]
Whilst our friends Oz and Caroline were visiting us at Molyneux we took a day out from the lake and decided to go to see Monets Gardens at Giverny, which is approx. 9-10km from the lake and very easy to find. It is said that Monet was travelling between Vernon and Gasny when he glanced […]
