General Comments:

The lake and the whole area is absolutely amazing. This is easily the best setting for a carp fishing venue we’ve been to in more than 18 visits to France. The very hot weather went against us from Tuesday onwards and the fish started spawning. As a result our catch report took a down turn. This didn’t spoil the week at this stunning venue. Philippe was a super guy

Details of your catches:

39 FISH IN TOTAL. 5 x Doubles 5 x 20's 22 x 30's 5 x 40's 2 x 50's Biggest was 52lb 12oz common.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Any good quality bait will catch if presented well. Our group used a mix of DNA and Baitworks boilies as feed as well as corn, pellet and various glugs / oils. Fish were caught on match the hatch, yellow pop ups, snowman, pink corn, yellow corn etc, Ronnie / spinner rigs. Fish caught mainly from far bank and dam wall, anything from 1 metre to 4 metres off. Also peg 3 guys caught a lot of fish stalking in the snags / out of bounds areas as bailiff said was a good spring tactic.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes. Although fairly basic the cabin had all we needed with UK plugs for charging, clean hot & cold water and kitchen facilities. The shower and W/C were again basic and not the most luxurious and clean but fit for purpose. Could do with some modernisation for a little bit of luxury, especially when there for a week but on the whole everything was sufficient.

Were you happy with them?

Yes.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, a lovely peaceful lake in a beautiful part of France. No noisy roads - think I saw maybe 3 or 4 walkers throughout the whole week! Venue seems to do big hits of fish when you time it right.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes - Angling Lines service from start to finish was great. All info sent over in timely manner and questions answered.
