General Comments:

Its not an easy lake but if you use the correct tactics , you will do well and be rewarded . We broke three PBs and everybody caught . We had no problems, with what we had read previous on here . No sturgeon problems , no trailing lines , no small fish taking baits. Its a very well run lake and the owner is extremely passionate and helpful . Listen to his knowledge and you will have a great time .

Details of your catches:

4x 20lb and under Catfish

All my tactics and bait gave me no Carp whatsoever.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were absolutely spot on.

Were you happy with them?

Very happy, although i fished from L'anse the toilet was a good 1/4 mile away from swim. A closer portaloo would of been handy.

I would definitely recommend it to friends.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Most definitely.

General Comments:

Unfortunately the Carp were spawning when i got there and so i was plagued by bloomin' Catfish. Didn't have one Carp. It was just bad timing for me. Felt really frustrated but still enjoyed myself.

Details of your catches:

What a lovely lake, very comfortable, Mehdi has done a lot of work to make this place special. Sadly the fishing on our week was extremely slow. 3 anglers left a day early due to this even though they have been coming for the last 5 year, so it must have been bad timing on our all our parts or luck. Only 4 fish between us although one was one of the sturgeon which Mehdi has now removed. As we knew beforehand there are lots of phantom runs, but with him removing these it will make a massive difference.

General Comments:

It started as a difficult week, the fish did not appear to be up for feeding, very finiky fish, the air temp was cold and overcast but water temp felt warm to touch. Over course of week Lance had crashing fish, Andy lost four fish, they all came off. Very strange. Pete in Plage produced a 40 and two smaller fish. Chien had crashing fish but none taken by Wes. Birches had 4 x 40lb grass carp, a 30+ gc and 42m plus two smaller commons. We leave les boulet (no carp bay) free no one wants to fish that. Point did well, Johny getting runs and missing them, he refined his terminal tackle and took a mid thirty grassy, very reassuring, I think he had a 7 pound tench, then took a 48 m and next day a 52m. John took point bay and first night took a big powerful fish that found a snag to break the line on. After 3 days no banked fish, he found a storm kicked up, blew heavily right into the bay and fish went on the feed. Took a 49.5m and a 43.5 GCarp and two smaller fish. I would say everyone had to think and work hard for these captures. Sharpest hooks were best. By the way must say Craig Lancashires big common from April looked stunning, big wide fish very dark. Not seen that before, well done Craig
