General Comments:

On arrival was welcomed by Stephan the bailiff very nice man, the owner Philippe was very nice and welcoming with lots of knowledge about the fishing, we also had the food package prepared by John jac the food was amazing, all prepared and ready for your meal time amazing food and dessert with a choice of continental and cooked breakfast every morning, well worth the money. We have been to France a few time to different venues, La Fonte by far the best food and fishing we have experienced, a very enjoyable place to fish.

Details of your catches:

Slow week with only 10 carp and 1 pike - Swim 1 James and Sam - 47lb, 42.12lb, 38lb 28.12lb Swim 2 Matt and Andy - 32.4lb, 28.8lb Swim 3 Matt and Andy 2x low doubles, 20.10lb, 26.2lb and a 12lb pike

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The majority of fish were caught on nut based bottom baits from Mad Baits and CCMoore - nearly all were caught in blowback rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Overall, the facilities were good - the swims are in need of some maintenance and can be restrictive when casting, especially when two are fishing from one swim. This wouldn’t be a problem if you were using a bait boat and the issue was discussed with Phillipe.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes - good sized fish, amazing food package and service from Joanne.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, quality service. All questions and requests dealt with quickly.

Only a couple of handful of boilies only over each spot after every fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Very good facilities. The only issue is the oven and the toilet with not being able to put toilet paper down it 😳

Yes and Joanne is a very nice lady and is more than helpful.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?
