General Comments:

The lake is in need of a safety boat to retrieve lost or snagged rigs

Details of your catches:

50 fish between us all. Some big commons to 45lb and Grass carp to 58lb Seven PB’s broken

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fish to showing fish and be prepared to move if it’s possible Tiger nut accounted for all the fish caught. Fished over particle and crushed boilie Due to the distance in some swims a bait boat is very helpful.

Were the facilities what you expected?

As you would expect on a drive and survive. Shower hot and toilet clean. The only issues are the facility’s are shared with both lakes and if the venues full that’s 24 anglers using them. Also they are are located next to the small lake which is a fair distance from the large lake. Could benefit from one or two portaloos on the large lake.

Were you happy with them?

Yes. Been to the venue before so knew what to expect

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes but would advise to take some serious mozzi spray/cream (some after bite cream wouldn’t go amiss either lol)

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Always do. Excellent company to deal with.

General Comments:

Our holiday was a short notice venue change for us. Due to our booked venue suffering from the hot weather and lack of rain it wasn’t possible to fit us all on there. Angling lines went above and beyond to sort things out for us giving us several options, from refund changing dates or venue change. Glad we took the latter. Another great French trip.

10 carp including 2 grass carp 48lb and 39lb. Mirrors and commons. 32lb leather 35lb mirror 26 lb mirror 23lb mirror 27lb common

2 tigers on hair rig. Baited up with tigers and particles and boilies
