General Comments:

The fish at Brocard Small, that I caught, were all in very good healthy condition. They fought extremely well and when I saw them in the unhooking cradle I was impressed with their scale patterns - they looked (shone) like diamonds.

These fish were in no doubt the best quality and looking ones that I have ever caught during my years of fishing in France. Great week despite the thunderstorms and torrential rain!

Franck is very amiable and welcoming and only too pleased to give advice/information on the fishing of your swim.

Swim 2 - Total of 55 fish, biggest 46lb. 1 x 46lb, 8 x 33 - 46lb, 46 x <33lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

I fished peg one with it being the only single peg. It would have been nice if this was closer to the shower block as you can not leave your peg.
