Sometimes Philippe will not be down at the lake immediately as you arrive, he is usually up at the farmhouse where the facilities are. You are welcome to set up and settle in. Philippe does not speak good English, so you are encouraged to take advantage of the wealth of information on the website (angler's articles etc) for advice on how best to fish the lake.
