Details of your catches:

24 carp to 43lb 10oz
6 Catfish to 75lb
Most carp were between mid and high 30's, with just 3 being over 40lb, Two years ago we caught less fish but the majority were 40lb+. We believe this was probably down to 2 years of Covid disruption with fewer anglers fishing and less bait going in.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We only used boilies (around 12kg each) for the week. Mostly Mainline Cell, but also caught on CC Moore's Live System. Standard bottom bait and snowman rigs accounted for all the fish. We were fortunate to have the whole lake to ourselves, so fished off the spit in all directions.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, as we'd been here before.

Were you happy with them?

Yes. Plenty of freezer and fridge space, cooking hob and microwave. We chose to cook on the bank this time so we could stay by our rods.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, and I often point people asking about fishing in France to Angling Lines

General Comments:

A much needed, extremely peaceful and stress-free week with fish being caught every day. This included three double takes. It's a lovely, well kept lake which has easy access to shops. A special mention to the superb fresh bread Boulangerie Jacques in Beaurieux (left as you go out of the lake - 5 mins down the road). Something that people may find of interest is the new 24 hour Pizza machine in the village. We didn't try it so can't vouch for the quality, but they look great.

General Comments:

Sophie was great the facilities were basic but more than adequate, fish started spawning on our arrival so fishing was very slow. Sophie told us it had not been fishing well but hey we cannot control that. Lake is definitely not big enough for 8 anglers.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback and we're sorry you experienced a slow week on the lake. We recommend the lake for up to 6 anglers and limit it to 6 on any non-exclusive weeks where groups are sharing. We only allow up to 8 anglers where the lake is booked exclusively for the week.
