Details of your catches:

Carp turned off and cats turned on. Saying that, I had new PB with a 42lb mirror, and Dave had his PB with a 40lb 7oz mirror. Only 6 carp between us all, but plenty of cat's the biggest being 42,46,48,50 & 51 lb and all gave great sport. We also had a few bream.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We tried everything, but single bollie topped with fake corn seemed to produce the only results, including cat's!

Were the facilities what you expected?

They were fine, plenty of hot water for showers,fridge/freezer space, plus electric points for charging. We didn't use the cooking facilities as we set up our own at the lakeside.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, suited our needs with no problems.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, although we had a difficult time due to water levels, and feel that we didn't get the best from this lake as a result, but would love to come back again with the levels right.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, as always you looked after us, even managing to get our change of vehicle sorted at the last minute with no extra charge.

General Comments:

The water level was some 2 mtrs up on arrival, but dropped up to 6" a day! The spit was unrecognisable, and the margins changed daily, our group had to split up half way through the week as 2 of them found themselves fishing over 5 mtrs of boggy land one morning.

Details of your catches:

With just four anglers we caught a total of 57 fish: 3 bream, 4 common-carp to 14lbs, 3 small catfish to 10lbs, 1 grasscarp 35lbs and 46 mirror-carp to 44lbs.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We used boilies and mais.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes good, we have been there last year. But a big improvement was that rowing-boat has an electrical motor now.

General Comments:

This was our 3rd visit to Beaurepaire the lake is different each time we've fished it, the water level is constantly changing and you can never tell were the fish are going to be, so each visit is a new challenge. The owner Bernard is a real nice guy and he leaves you alone.
