Details of your catches:

Had the best time ever, what a week, and well worth every penny. We beat all our PB's and we all weren't expecting the size and weight of the fish we pulled out, amazing. My first mirror carp was 38lb and it just got better and better for us.

General Comments:

Thank you for a mind blowing week of fishing. We're coming back next year to try and beat the 48lb fish Ty pulled out.

Details of your catches:

We had a great week at Ragon, just me and my brother for the week fishing from the peninsula in front of the cabin. We had over 30 carp between us so plenty of action including 2 40's to 46lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Best tactics were fishing tight to the weed on the far margins using the bait boat, we used a mix of pellet and boilies mainly with plenty of liquids.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities are fantastic, the cabin on the lake is a dream especially if you're up on the decking for sunrise!

Were you happy with them?

Facilities were great, everything you need for a comfortable week.

General Comments:

Great trip overall, as always AL makes everything easy and the fishing at Ragon was great :)

Details of your catches:

47 fish landed between 3 anglers including a 46lb Grass Carp, 42lb Common, 40lb Mirror and a 21lb Koi. This was alongside multiple 20s and 30s

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Solid bags to showing fish or on the edge of weed beds on the far margin.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Better than expected

Were you happy with them?

Fantastic to have a shower to freshen up everyday, Power in the cabin was more than enough to charge multiple power-packs and bait-boats throughout the week with no issues. Ate on the veranda every night together and been able to sit and relax socially whilst having receivers next to you is just what you need on a week with big fish and great company.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, Fantastic lake with beautiful surroundings and a great head of fish.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, with the issues with P&O I didn't have to chase anyone, all our crossings where changed to the Eurotunnel with no fuss to make sure we got across easily.

General Comments:

Fantastic week at a stunning location with plenty of big fish, Better than any of us could have imagined.

Details of your catches:

A disappointing week with only 5 fish between 4 anglers (2 of us failed to register) 1x 41lb mirror, 32lb & 31lb commons, 2 x 29lb commons. We don’t profess to be experts but we’ve had very good hauls from other Angling Lines venues in the past.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Difficult to locate fish - 4 were caught off left side of the spit fishing close to the mid-water weed patch.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The cabin is a god send - great for social and most welcome on the couple of very wet days that we experienced. Considering the lack of mains connection, the shower and loo were nicely presented (although emptying the compostable loo at the end of the week may not be to everybody’s liking!)

Were you happy with them?

They were as good as we’ve experienced elsewhere with Angling Lines. Shower could be warmer. The owner Chris visited - nice chap with a good command of English.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Probably not - it’s a long drive through Central Paris and we experienced a poor catch total

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes Angling Lines are always accommodating in our experience.

General Comments:

Had issues with a bunch of coots as they made it difficult to get down a bed of bait without them diving for it. Unfortunately 2 birds had to be unhooked during the week (both fine afterwards). We also experienced issues with crayfish with 5 rigs being cut through near the orange bouy and clawed boilies in evidence elsewhere in the lake. Had a tough week but we take some of the blame in retrospect as we think it might have been best to spend more time fishing close to weed beds rather than open water.
