Anglers Mail editor Tim Knight recently spent a week at Mas Bas, here’s his article following the trip… EVER tried finding and then enjoying a holiday where you get enough good fishing in, and the non-angler/s with you are equally well catered for? It isn’t always easy to get the balance right! I can put […]
Peter Holgate and Mark Morgan fished Glehias last week and witnessed the strangest behaviour of Lake Lauren I have ever seen. The Cats and the Carp literally split the lake in two! The Carp took to the shallows whilst the Catfish took over the deep end. On arrival, Mark said that he would like to land […]
We’ve watched 15 acre French gravel pit Blue lake bubble away with numerous thirties to be had over the years.

A great account by Jason Rider of four years fishing 14 acre Boux, set in the Morvan Regional Park. Famously the lake where Tim Paisley had his first fifty, it’s still a haven for carp anglers to this day… 2008 My first impressions of Domaine De Boux in April 2008 were nice enough but I had no […]
A huge well done to Cliff Jones who came away with the new lake record at Beaurepaire this May, weighing in at 56lb 1oz. ‘After a few beers some silly bugger suggested that if one of us were to catch a lake record they should be made to streak the full length of the far […]

Sturgeon certainly aren’t everyone’s cup of tea. However, if you do fancy the chance of catching a truly monster sized one, Vaumigny is the place to go. This one was caught in Swim 2 last month. Thankfully the lake also holds some seriously impressive carp too if sturgeon aren’t your thing. The mirror below was […]

For this years holiday, I was again going to be joined by my brother David and two ex-workmates, father and son duo Garry and Matt Clarke. Now David and Matt very rarely go fishing and Garry doesn’t get out anywhere near as much as he would like. With this in mind, I wanted a venue […]
