General Comments:

Very happy nice place to be

Details of your catches:

Within four hours of reaching lake landed PB Catfish @ 49lb. Throughout the week netted 26lb cat, 32 & 28lb mirrors. Fishing was very slow but the weather was perfect for just relaxing.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

PVA bagged conventional bolt rigs, lead clips etc. Didn't take bait boat, might have been a mistake. Fished north bank near the willow tree into the prevailing south westerly breeze which limited the distance I could cast. My 2.75lb rods might have been a bit light for that venue.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, but one toilet next to the shower and cooking facilities not best idea.

Were you happy with them?

Adequate for a drive and survive week

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Possibly not.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Absolutely, great service that I will definitely use again. Made planning the trip so easy.

General Comments:

Looking to find a venue for 2014 with Angling Lines already.

Details of your catches:

15 mirror carp - 44, 42, 39, 39, 38, 36, 35, 34, 32, 31, 30, 29, 25, 24, 22. 2 common carp - 17, 8. 4 cats - 47, 46, 32, 15

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We all used cell boilies and best results were on small beds with accurate and regular baiting approach. There were long quiet periods during the day due to the heat and most action was during the evening or after dark. No need for complicated rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes the facilities were exactly as shown on the website.

Were you happy with them?

Yes the facilities were more than adequate with fridge and freezer space, local supermarket only 10 minutes away.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Would definitely recommend to a friend and have already done so. If you are travelling to france for the first time then this is an easy water to start with.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Would recommend using angling lines as it was an easy hassle free way of getting on the bank.

General Comments:

Bernard and his daughter were very polite and helpful, Bernards english is not the best but it is easy to understand what he means. Beautiful quiet scenery and we had no problems with the mozzies.

Details of your catches:

Fishing very slow,possibly a combination of the heat and being on a pretty featureless area of lake. Carp to 41lb, and a 36lb cat.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tried several tactics, nothing stood out as best. Echo sounding with boat revealed a pretty flat bottom, apart from deeper hole right in front of me. Lots of false line bites from hyper active cats!

Were the facilities what you expected?

Better. Shower still leaks onto floor,but hardly a problem. Fridges and freezer a bonus, and lashings of hot water.

Were you happy with them?

More than happy.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Very doubtful. Its pretty obvious that the spit is prime,and holds the majority of the fish. Away from that its a bit of a featureless wilderness.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Smooth process and plenty of info.

General Comments:

The draw for swims seems to have been abandoned by the owner! Arrived at 11.15, to find everyone else on lake and set up! The cats are a menace,constantly charging around and thru lines..very trying at times.

This was a last min break for me,and the weather was great; but its not a water for serious carp fishing IMHO.

**Note from Angling Lines** Our apologies for the swim draw issues, we are contacting the owner regarding this.
