General Comments:

The wood bank could do with flattening off and de-rooting. Maybe some wooden steps to get to the waters edge as it's a big drop from the bank, which would help when landing fish, putting them back and boating baits out.

They crayfish could do with managing better as lines do get cut off through them, leaving fish with trailing lines. As for the fish, they are probably the hardest fighting fish that we have fished for, and always in tip top shape.

For anybody who is think of a trip to Boux, take up the challenge, you will not be disappointed. We will definitely be doing another trip to this top fishery.

General Comments:

Water didn't start to fish until Wednesday due to high water temperatures and pressure from the previous party. The fish just started to feed when we had to leave.

Details of your catches:

There were 26 carp caught between myself, Jim Kelly and David Keep.

My captures totaled 11 carp of 46lb 8oz, 40lb 2oz, 4 thirties to 39lb 9oz and 5 twenties.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The carp did not show in my swim until the early hours of Thursday morning. I created a baited area with Quality Baits Patshull Park Squid and orange 18mil boilies put out by throwing stick at around 50 metres out in open water. All my fish fell to single bottom baits.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Yes. Piping hot water in shower with ample freezer facilities and fridge.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes. This is one of the best lakes in France.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

General Comments:

We all struggled for the first few days possibly due to the previous weeks angling pressure and the water temperature which was 26C. Once the rains fell and cooled the lake the carp responded well to boilies. Crayfish caused a bit of a problem if a bait was placed in the margins, however fishing in open water they caused no problems to un-meshed boilies.
