General Comments:

Loved Mas Bas, and great help from 'The fishing maestro' can't remember his name, but bets are on Laurie!!

Details of your catches:

Fished a few hours hours each day, mainly mornings and late afternoon, on the spots Gilles recommended. Caught 53 across the five days we fished, 10 Grass carp, 15 Commons, 27 Mirrors and a beautiful Orange Koi. Mostly the fish were upper doubles with a few low 20's, all really hard fighting and in good condition.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

When Gilles said you'll only need one rod each, we were sceptical, but glad we listened to his advice as we had numerous double takes throughout the week. We used balanced tiger nuts on a KD rig or wrapped bottom baits supplied by Gilles. We've seen reports of Poisson Chat in the lake but we weren't plagued by them at all, only catching three.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Everything you need for a great self catering holiday. The Gite is spacious and nicely decorated with a really well equipped kitchen, comfy beds, great showers, washing machine and dishwasher. The pool area is lovely and the outdoor patio next to the lake was a lovely space to spend time relaxing with the Family.

Were you happy with them?

Yes 100%

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes 100% - Sharon was awesome helping to guide us through the Covid protocols and what we needed to do prior to returning home and Gilles put us on the right spots for the fishing. We found our hosts really friendly and helpful and will definitely return.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, used Angling Lines many times and service is always top drawer.

General Comments:

Proprietors were very pleasant and helpful as previously stated we were disappointed with the sheer number of catfish in such a small lake but nothing is predictable in the fishing world they need to electro-fish instead of expecting fishermen to catch the cats for disposal or advertise as a mixed fishery and not a carp fishing lake. *Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback and we are very sorry you had an issue with poisson chat this week. There has certainly been a bloom of these towards the end of this year and Gilles plans to remedy the issue over the winter. See latest lake news for more details. Meanwhile anglers are asked to fish without ground bait etc, which should minimise the impact they have on the fishing.

Details of your catches:

Great week over 70 carp caught including commons mirrors grass carp and koi. Ranging from 12 to very close to 30lb carp.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Mainly caught using single 20 mm boillies supplied by the owners. Feeding pellets and tiger nuts.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were excellent including the tackle hire.

Were you happy with them?

Yes overall everything spot on.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely recommend to anyone looking for plenty of fish in beautiful surroundings.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Top class service, highly recommend
