General Comments:

It probably would a more productive week if the temperatures hadn’t risen so fast, majority of the carp spent there time sunbathing in the snags and the bream were getting ready to spawn so this made them a lot more active

Angling lines are spot on cant fault them

General Comments:

Been to this lake several times previously couldnt fault it ...but unfortunatly after this visit am very disapointed a majority of the trees have been cut down and left as stumps swims are horrendous. gravel has been put down on swims and you sink in them should of been bark main drive around lake is the same. Totally disappointed .. from my favourite lake in france has now become my least.

*Angling Lines note* We do fully appreciate that you visited the lake during one of the wettest and coldest marches we have known and therefore the conditions and indeed the fishing were difficult. However we entirely dispute the statement that the majority of the trees have been removed - this work was carried out as sensitively as possible so as not to change the feel of the lake, with only old trees (including one row by the track) that could present a safety concern removed. The lake remains to be tree lined. We have fully updated the photo section to show the venue as it looks currently. Gravelling the swims was a response to feedback from anglers last year and we hope that this makes the swims less slippy and more comfortable.

Details of your catches:

Olly: 39lb 8oz mirror, 32lb mirror, 30lb 8oz common, 26lb 8oz common, 18lb common, 26lb grass carp and 19lb 8oz grass carp. Terry: 48lb 8oz common, 42lb mirror and 3 bream.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Silty areas produced more fish than the gravel spots, margins also produced. Used Fluorcarbon d rigs snowman style. Bait: Five star baits fish mix and the nutz boilies, hemp, corn and pellet.

General Comments:

The lake fished very slow at the start of the week due to the weather being hot for October. Started to fish a little better towards the end of the week. Peg 11 is very difficult to return fish to the water as the bank is high and there is no step down to the water. Also peg 7 is very slippery when it's been raining, could do with some gravel being put down.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback, Sebastien intends to improve on the swims this winter.

Details of your catches:

Ben - Mirror 30lb and Common 32lb, Ron - Common 32.5

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Variable tactics and baits during the course of the week

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

I wasn't happy with the size of the toilet and that the door did not lock. The wash basin was one continuous communal big sink with 3 taps, requiring your own bowl to have a shave or wash.

Overall happy with the venue however whilst appreciating in this type of environment there will always be rats present I do feel more could be done to control the numbers such as boxes with poison.
