General Comments:

it was our 24th trip to France. We prefer the shuttle as opposed to the ferry so a choice would be better for us. Brocard small has a good head of carp even though we didn't catch any big fish, there is plenty of evidence they are there. A point that might matter to some anglers is that having to fish locked up all the time we couldn't night fish as at peg 3 the bivvies are too far back from the rods, by the time we crossed a foot bridge across a stream then the road track the fish were already snagged up. So as we hadn't had one offer in the middle of the lake we stopped night fishing. One definite plus was Franke our contact there, he's full of good information and knows the lake. Another plus is that there is a very good fishing shop in Chateau la Brienne, well worth a visit for tackle or bait.

Details of your catches:

26 carp to 40lb
23 grass carp to 54.6lb
5 small catfish

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bait wise most baits worked, pop ups, wafters

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities are basic but ok, the shower is always hot and there is two toilets. There’s plenty of plug sockets for both lakes. There’s no fridge or freezer but that’s not to much of a problem

Were you happy with them?

Yes indeed
