However, most venues genuinely fish well all year. Of course sudden weather changes at any time of year can slow or stop dead the carps willingness to play!\u00a0 And unfortunately through climate change we have seen some bizarre weather at odd times. I remember distinctly choosing sunny August for a trip to the south of France to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/venue\/mas-bas-main-lake\" class=\"kblinker\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More about Mas Bas &raquo;\">Mas Bas<\/a> and it rained heavily non stop all week\u00a0when usually it would be 30 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>The fish are naturally on the feed as the waters start to warm up so if March is very mild that too can still be a good month. There are so many factors beside the weather as the carp stocks themselves have a big effect as does the size and the depth of the water.\u00a0 Some lakes take a long time to warm up and others don&#8217;t. Drought years can also have a detrimental effect as can too much rain. The elements go on and on.\u00a0 A lake with a good flow through of river water has less fluctuations in temperature over all and so earlier and later months can be better on this type of lake.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Top tip<\/em><\/strong> for picking the months to fish is simply to look at the feedback for the lake you are interested in &amp; you&#8217;ll begin to see a pattern of\u00a0which months the lake performs its best (you can see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/venue\/laroussi\" class=\"kblinker\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"More about Laroussi &raquo;\">Laroussi<\/a>&#8216;s feedback <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/Laroussi\/feedback\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>).
