After spending the first few days without seeing a carp in the swim I decided (with Mehdi's help) to move into Le Chene as fish had been seen crashing. Not wanting to over bait (as I think I may have done in the previous swim) after finding the features Mehdi spoke about, I put out very small PVA bags containing crushed boilie and 3mm shrimp pellet. The whole bag was dipped in a liquid food source before casting. Finally, I sticked out a few boilies to ensure some freebies were in the swim. The bait was the new Solar Byt in 16mm. I moved swim on Tuesday afternoon in between the rain showers but it wasn't until 12.30am on the Thursday morning I had my first take. That night I had three fish, all to the same rod; 13lb common, 21lb mirror and 50lb 10oz mirror. During the next day I lost a fish and went on to take a 35lb 10oz mirror the next night. The following morning bought a frost and also a 25lb mirror. The last fish was to come during Friday night, a common of about 6lb. Interestingly, all bar one fish came to the same rod. Given the depth of water and the weather conditions I think we went out too early and the fish were very localised. Towards the end of the week they were more active and I am sure the next parties would benefit from this. Laroussi is a very well managed venue that has quality fish. From my parties experience it is not a chuck and chance water but with a little effort and common sense a good result can be achieved. All four of my party took at least one thirty each. I certainly will go back but much later in the year.

All in all a brilliant week....Medhi is the nicest guy you could possibly hope to meet, very helpful but at the same time not intrusive at all...amazing English. I can honestly say that of all the lakes we have fished on your books....7 different venues in total...Laroussi is top of the pile in our books. So much thought has been put into the lake, the swims, facilities etc. I foresee Laroussi becoming your most sought after water after word spreads from returning anglers. We were so impressed we'd like to return this year....September or October time. Two of the lads with us were first timers in France, Medhi offered plenty help and guidance to them when asked and significantly increased their catch rate. Thanks for another excellent holiday!
