So these fish will be even heavier when at full weight and Arthur who normally puts 4lb on over winter could well come out next spring at over 60lb!<\/p>\n<p>Arthur is our second biggest common and hasn\u2019t been out since April 2012. Arnold is our second biggest mirror and hasn\u2019t been caught since July 2012. Nick and Dave have been a real pleasure to have on our lake every time they have been and we are really happy for them and hope to see them again catching more monsters.<\/p>\n<p>Mark, Villefond Owner<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Carp Fishing in France\" href=\"https:\/\/www.anglinglines.com\/Villefond\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Carp Fishing in France<\/a> at Villefond<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arthur @ 54.07 Nick Johnson returned to Villefond for the third time on the 20th\u00a0of October 2012 with Dave Procter (his second visit) and they both done brilliantly.
