Overall the lake exceeded my expectations, we were lucky enough to have the lake to ourselves and wouldn't recommend more than 4 anglers

Details of your catches:

We caught carp but lost more than landed as a problem with sharp weed beds

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

A must to drop all leads to get the fish up in the water as early as possible

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yer they're ok for the week

Were you happy with them?

Yes, had better but had far worse

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

The lake once its been sorted of its sharp weed as a group of people couldn't fish it at the moment, stunning fish, quality size and especially Sophie, what a lovely lady.

Angling Lines sorted everything as we changed the time outbound and returned on Friday at short notice. Brilliant service from all at Angling Lines.

General Comments:

Definitely booking this lake again next year through this company.
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback Gary, as discussed, the lake will be treated this winter so that the weed is not a problem from 2023 onwards. The intense weather this year really did contribute to the weed being an issue.

Details of your catches:

14 x Mirrors 25lb-41.8lb
3 x Commons 21lb-36lb
7 x Cat Fish 40lb-85lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Most fish caught on bollies dipped in an attractor with either pallet or a spot mix. Feed a small about but regularly in the same spots.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, the toilet and showers were excellent and with plenty of fridge/freezer space.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, plenty of hot water for showers and cleaning tidy facilities.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes we would recommend to a friend, but while the water level is low the weed covers over 3/4 of the lake and is not easy to get through with a fish on. Maybe earlier in the year when the weed is not a problem, as limited to where you can fish with more than 4 anglers.
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. The owner has now confirmed they will be treating the weed this winter, so for 2023 it should not be a problem.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, We have used Angling Lines several times now for our French trips and have always found it easy to book and any questions answered quickly.

General Comments:

Fished from the spit which in the record breaking temperatures was quite tough.

Had to use spots from around the whole lake to locate fish.

The levels of weed made fishing very tough. Weed reaching the top of the water for around 40% of the lake.

The back of the spit almost being impossible to fish only produced 1 of the fish. (This reducing the number of swims) It stated up to 8 anglers. Taking the weed into account and the low water level i’d say it was more ideal for up to 4 anglers at the moment.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. The owner has now confirmed they will be treating the weed this winter, so for 2023 it should not be a problem.
