Phil ( never fished before) 4 mirror carp 1 x 22lb , 1 x 24lb , 1 x 33lb , 1 x 36lb. 2 sturgeon 1 x 47lb , 1 x 70lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Stick to same spots keep feeding and the fish will turn up. Can’t give my bait and tactics away as I’m back in September for 2 weeks and would like it to still work.... But if you are coming and scared of snags don’t fish to them all my fish came from open water. Also go big on lines I used 23lb fox Exocet on my rods n 20lb on jacks there are gravel bars which cut through 12-18lb very easy.

Were the facilities what you expected?

I came in October fished peg 8 so have seen the changes. Changes to the pegs look good opened some up and dug out some steeper pegs to make easier access to your rods and land fish. Removed several big trees and snags which must have taken some time and effort. The shower has changed slightly but still not used in 2 visits stick to baby wipes as most places I fish in UK have no showers anyway. The toilet ,fridge ,freezer and electric point are all good they work and are clean.

Were you happy with them?

Very happy I knew what to expect

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I do this is my favourite lake I have fished 3 in France and loads in UK but none come anywhere near this even when I visited in October only caught 2 carp biggest 39lb but I caught my first ever catfish at 73lb and another 11 from 35lb - 68lb so you don’t know what your going to catch on the next run. Frank the bailiff is a top bloke.

Again I do when letting people know where I’ve been what I’ve caught who I’ve booked through.

General Comments:

This was my best week ever in fishing (34 years) but didn’t start that way in the build up 2 weeks before. I arranged this trip with me my mate Pete who’s 73 always course fished never been carping so was coming as non- angler for a holiday , Jack my son who’s 19 not been fishing with me for 8 years because carp fishing’s boring???? Look at his face on pics think he may like carp fishing now. We were all going to be on peg 1. And another mate who was unable to come at last minute was meant to fish peg 2 So finding a replacement wasn’t easy last minute so Jacks mate Phil came 18 years old never fished before and he and jack fished peg 2 me on peg 1. All the people who I asked if they wanted a free holiday but couldn’t make it all said they wish the had come once I started sending pics.... Angling lines where brilliant at changing the details of who was going.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishmeal boillies. Pellets. Bait boat to baited area.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were as previously described. Shower hot but metallic odour. Buy drinking water at hypermarket. There is a Motorhomes area just up road with running clean water and toilets if you want them.

Were you happy with them?

Were as described so yes. It's fishing...

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes.. Already have.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Already have and regularly do.

General Comments:

Had a good time. Went for Sturgeon and was not disappointed. There are snaggy margins around the lake as in description. Some people lost fish.. Go prepared with heavy mono mainline.

Details of your catches:

Paul - carp 35lb 32lb mirrors 23lb common Cats 51lb 35lb Richard 35lb cat

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Weather was ridiculously hot, middle of heatwave so was expecting the fishing to be hard going and it was, that being said tight to the island produced plenty of action but due to the snags we lost as many as we landed. Fished pop ups over pellet/boilie/particle mix, but only a handful, same in open water but four times as much, this is where we caught the cats. You will need a bait boat.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Very bacis as stated

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

If you want wild fishing with the chance of a massive fish this is the place for you, but not for an inexperienced angler, watch the vid first. We loved it but it's not for everyone

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Angling lines are top notch, enough said -5 stars.

General Comments:

My advice if there's two of you fish peg one. But there's a factory across the road that makes factory noises, and they had a rave Friday night! 😀 But didn't bother us, all in all great trip, will definitely return.
