General Comments:

The lake is very quiet; you can't see the other anglers, it's like fishing an exclusive lake. The fish are in superb condition and are nicely proportioned - no "beer guts"! Yes, we did have great time, despite being a bit worried at first that our "no bait-boats" principles would hold us back, but we got all our fish in the middle, so no problems there. I can also confirm that we had absolutely no sign of crayfish, and no rats either!

Details of your catches:

2 anglers caught 14 carp in swim 2. Good fishing at night, only 2 carp in the day. All fish are in great condition.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

General Comments:

The fish at Brocard Small, that I caught, were all in very good healthy condition. They fought extremely well and when I saw them in the unhooking cradle I was impressed with their scale patterns - they looked (shone) like diamonds. These fish were in no doubt the best quality and looking ones that I have ever caught during my years of fishing in France. Great week despite the thunderstorms and torrential rain! Franck is very amiable and welcoming and only too pleased to give advice/information on the fishing of your swim.
