All four of us had a great fishing holiday
Thanks again phillip

Details of your catches:

12 fish, one twenty, seven good thirties and four forties to 46lb 10oz. Lost a couple more to hook pulls.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Most of our fish came to boilie hookbaits from the shallow end of the lake. We had a cold northly all week with night time temps barely above freezing so were pleased to still catch. We didn't try zigs but it may be worth a go as there were Swallows on the lake every day mopping up whatever was hatching. The margins were also thick with tadpoles.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Exactly as described.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, it's handy to have both bait and food freezers plus fridge. Take a small coolbox and you can visit the farm each day to rotate icepacks which gives a makeshift fridge back at the lake. The eco toilet at the lake itself is a bonus as it helps maximise fishing time. That said, it's only about a three minute drive to the farm for the shower and flushing toilet. Nice views of the lake and surrounding area when you're there as well.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Absolutely. Boux is a great venue. Honestly described, with the stock a nice mix of healthy, hard fighting commons and mirrors. Philippe is friendly and helpful, on hand at the farm if you need anything but otherwise you're left alone and it really feels like the lake is your own for the week to angle as you wish.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Angling lines provide a good service. It's easy to book with them and they answer any queries quickly.

General Comments:

As above, I'd highly recommend Boux. We've been before and will likely go again in the future. It's hard to beat it's combination of setting, stock and amount of water to fish. Also hard to beat it for value.
