Details of your catches:

12 fish in total, 10 carp all over 30lb with three over 40lb. Two Catfish, one 46lb and one 14lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Ground bait I believe but I am the least experienced angler so was guided by the experts with me.

Were the facilities what you expected?

They were adequate for what we needed. The shower room was good but the cooking facilities weren't the best but there was enough fridges and a large chest freezer so perfectly good for a drive and survive.

Were you happy with them?

Yes I was

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes I would, the lake was lovely and really well kept and the owners were very helpful. Everything an angler needs for a week was there including big fish albeit it was hard fishing for the week.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Again yes, this was my first time away fishing and could not have picked a better lake. The experts I went with all agreed that we would come back next year.

General Comments:

I had a great week on a great lake with a good bunch of lads. The fishing was hard but I learned a lot and did eventually catch a lovely 37lb common which made the week.

Yes without hesitation. This was our 5th or 6th visit since 2009 and we will consider visiting again in the future

Angling Lines had kept us fully updated on this trip throughout the pandemic and remain the leaders in the French fishing holiday market.
We would highly recommend A.L

General Comments:

Had a great week, lovely lake and very good facilities. I caught some very nice fish, it was well worth going. Beaurepaire is so easy to get to from Calais. Sophie is an extremely pleasant lady and very helpful too.

Details of your catches:

15 Carp - 49.08, 49.02, 49, 44, 43.08, 41, 39.12, 39, 38.08, 38, 33.12, 32, 29, 28.08 and 24lb - 2 Personal bests amongst these
6 Catfish - 54.07, 50, 35, 32, 30 and 18lb - 1 Personal Best amongst these

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Nearly all the fish were caught on either snowman, single or double boilie bottom baits.
Mainline Cell accounted for all but 2 of the carp. The other 2 were caught on Monster Baits Monster Ice. Monster Baits Fruit Fusion caught the two 50lb cats

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were good and clean, (2 showers) both with plenty of space to change. 2 hobs to cook on with plenty of fridge and freezer space for bait, food and cold drinks.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, very happy with the facilities (much better than some non-Angling Lines venues I have visited - note to self - stick with Angling Lines)

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I most certainly would recommend the venue - Its a beautiful lake with some huge carp and bigger catfish so you're never to far away from a personal best here and expect a very warm welcome from the lovely Sophie (who speaks very good English). Supermarket (Carrefour), Tabaco shop, Chemist and Bank are 15 minutes away in Guignicourt.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Most definitely. I always feel your in safe hands with Angling Lines.

General Comments:

If you can, I'd recommend booking exclusively for 4 anglers, which would allow each angler to have a corner of the lake to themselves or better still, two anglers each end of the lake all fishing towards the middle. We all initially fished from the spit, but it wasn't until I moved to the corner furthest from the facilities that the fish started to move around the lake. I'd also avoid fishing tight lines from the spit to the corners of the lake as this also seemed to stop the fish moving around. Most of our fish came from half way.
