Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were exactly as described

Were you happy with them?

Yes very happy. We had the food package which was excellent, I recommend this to anyone.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Gary and Angie were excellent hosts who made you feel very welcome. The lake is fairly new but has great potential to improve as the fish grow. Gary has plans to further improve the lake and its facilities which will make it even better. We would fully recommend this venue.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

We have used Angling Lines for many years, their service is always first class, no need to look anywhere else for a great holiday.

General Comments:

Even though we had heavy rain for 2.5 days which made the venue very muddy, once the weather improved the lake was excellent. All the fish were in great condition, Gary manages the lake very well.

Details of your catches:

First time to Eau De Vie. A brilliant place and great weeks fishing. It was opening week and a very wet start to the season. Just Anglers fishing just days and we managed 16 fish in total. 3 in the 40s with the biggest being 46lb Scaley Mirror Carp.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Gary is great and helped refine our rigs using house boilies with pop-up topper. Worked a treat and didn't have anything less than 20lbers. Fishing out the far parts on both sides of the island worked. No need to get right into the far margins, although a bait boat would definitely help later in the season when the trees are overhanging with branches.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Brilliant wee Cabin that worked ideal for the 2 of us. Electricty, gas hob, kettle, hot water kept us right. Might be a squeeze for bigger groups who want to spend time inside. Plenty of room on the bank for a bivvy.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, very. Gary and Angeline are super helpful.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, and would deffo return.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, we're on our 3rd with you :)
