Well finally our first year at Molyneux is drawing to a close. Helen and I are busy making ready to head back to the UK to spend Christmas and the New Year with friends and family. It has been a fantastic experience, one which we wouldn’t have swapped for the world. We have worked very […]
Molyneux in its Autumn colours The Molyneux bailiff, Wally, tells us about an October overnighter; It has been rare this year for the lake to be devoid of anglers, so when recently I found myself with the lake to myself it was too good an opportunity to miss. We were busy strimming brush and cutting […]
This week the Main Lake at Mas Bas welcomed two new arrivals, a lovely 25lb mirror and a very pretty 17lb 8oz red carp. Lets hope they both settle in well to add even more excitement to next seasons fishing.

Having fished lakes and rivers all over Europe for the last 25 years it would be hard to pick my favourite venue, having said that I would have to say Domaine De Boux is very near the top. The lake is about 10 acres and is a 6 hour journey from Calais and is situated […]

Indian Summer at Molyneux We have now been re-open since the end of August a little over four weeks and I thought it prudent to report on the weed situation as I would hate the fact that we had a problem this year to put off prospective guests to the lake from booking next year. I […]

A very wet Sid with his 33lb Mirror With the Moore party breakfasted, showered and ready for the off, I set off down to the gate to open it for their departure. I was surprised to see a small convoy of three vehicles sat outside waiting patiently. It was the following weeks guests who having […]
When Sebastian Vasseur my local fish farmer contacted me at the start of the year to a ask if I thought Angling Lines would be interested in a new lake I said yes at once… I have seen Sebastian’s other lakes and I knew this could be a real find. He came round to our home […]
