Details of your catches:

A number of fish were caught, bream carp and sturgeon. The biggest sturgeon going 37 as was the carp 39. The fishing was patchy with swims only having odd fish while others produced more.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Put beds of bait out by marker the only fish came to popped up tiger nut and a fruit flavoured boillie on the botton. It is very silty and the bottom is very uniformed the other bank dropped off very quickly into 17 foot.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilties good but could do with a couple more chairs in the shower area and a mop so it can be kept clean

Were you happy with them?

Yep no probs

General Comments:

Great weeks fishing for all, most runs coming at night though!!

If more than 6 anglers would be a little tight for space as some of the swims in the corners would be cut off. We were a little disappointed that we did not catch a 40 plus carp!! (too many doubles for a French lake!!) We all thought that 8 sturgeon in this lake was to many as one was caught on three occasions.

Details of your catches:

58 Carp - 1 x 40, 14 x 30s, 35 x 20s and 8 doubles.

3 x Sturgeon, 6 Bream, 1 x grass Carp and 2 ducks

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We caught the majority of fish on silty areas, fishing on gravel bars didn't produce. We used Quality Baits CM60 and HG47. We had great results using a spomb and fishing tight to baited areas of boilies, particles only produced bream.

Were the facilities what you expected?

No issues at all, shower block and toilets were very clean and the chest freezer was on and working for when we arrived.

Were you happy with them?

Didn't need anything more.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, not a hard venue at all but time spent with a marker is vital as depths and features differ everywhere.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, we were recommended by a friend and will also recommend this lake.

General Comments:

Although we had great weather throughout the day, the evenings and night were very cold. We did notice the fish did wise up to the pressure and moved away from our swims later on in the week.
If you're looking for a venue to have runs this is for you.

Details of your catches:

Five mirror carp 10lb, 26lbs, 28lbs, 30lb and 30lb 8oz, 1 sturgeon 42lbs and 7 bream. Four fish were lost. Good quality fish.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Best tactics, caught on tigers and pop up boilies. Tried various tactics to bring the fish on but as it was just so cold, they were having none of it.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, facilities were clean as always.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, the hose in the shower block broke while we were there so we replaced it. The fridge/freezer was ample.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, nice lake, can drive all round other than if there is loads of rain and then the tracks are a problem.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes

General Comments:

The only negative was, when we arrived and had spoken to the owner before we arrived, no one came to meet us. We were able to get into the lake gates but we were unable to get into the facilities for about 4 hours to use the loo and get water.

**Angling Lines note - We spoke to Sebastien about this, because of the distances involved it is not possible for someone to be there to meet anglers on arrival. However Sebastien said that he or one of his team always visit the lake as soon as possible every Saturday once he knows that the anglers have arrived. Sebastien acknowledges that occasionally he is delayed and this was one of those occasions. He apologises for any inconvenience this caused. He has also stated that he will leave the WC/Shower room open on arrival day so this problem won't reoccur.**
