Lillybelle was an excellent venue for my first <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/Lillybelle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">fishing holiday to France<\/a>. Martin has been to France several times before, so to catch more fish than him was a fantastic experience. Richard looked after every need and was great company. The lake has so much to offer, lots of different features to fish too and some absolutely stunning carp. Every fish that graced the bank was a pleasure. Thank you to Richard and Angling lines for a wonderfull and memorable trip.<\/div>\n<div>\n<div id=\"attachment_22919\" style=\"width: 610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-22919\" class=\"wp-image-22919\" src=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/2015\/08\/23lb.jpg\" alt=\"catfish at lillybelle french carp lake\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/2015\/08\/23lb.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/2015\/08\/23lb-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/blog\/wp-content\/images\/2015\/08\/23lb-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-22919\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">Martin Earlam &#8211; 23lb<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em>For more information on Lillybelle follow the link \u2013<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/Lillybelle\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carp Fishing Holidays in France<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week Lillybelle welcomed team Ashima&#8217;s Emily Blake and Martin Earlam.
