Details of your catches:

Fishing was harder than normal due to weather being un-favorable, that said we had 17 fish over the week between us, including numerous 20's, two 30's, two 40's and one over 50

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Most fish came to fake corn and smaller boilies (armour wrapped to avoid crayfish issues). Picked our spots where fish were showing and fed little and often with Brunos partimix and crushed boilie.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Excellent. Cabins were clean and comfortable, as was the shower and toilet. BBQ with each cabin along with large unhooking mat / cradle

General Comments:

Fantastic venue, will be back at some point. Bruno was really helpful and friendly, fast response to delivering additional bait mid-week.

Details of your catches:

We had a hard week with fish spawning and very hot days . Still managed to get seven fish in bank.
41lb, 38, 32, 28, 28, 19 and an 18lb. We did miss 4 as well.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bait boat to far bank and island using Pva bag, we also found three quarters across the water in mornings was a good area .

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities was great, the lake itself is a piece of heaven and a fantastic place to fish in peace. Shower and toilet clean but do take a mosquito killer for huts. Listen to the owner Bruno he gives advise and wants you to catch, fantastic host and will help out anyway he can .

Were you happy with them?

Very will go back one day

Easy, all the work is done for you

Details of your catches:

27 fish caught. 4 x 40s (largest a 44lb common to Ian), 7 x 30s, 11 x 20s & 5 x doubles

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Small pop ups or fake maize in 3-4 feet of water. Watch the water carefully and margins for the spots. You'll need strong leaders for some spots as very rocky in places. Only 2 fish from open water. We found fishing over pellet and hemp the best method for our week, but the week before they were caught over lots of boilies. So mix things up to see what suits your week.

Were the facilities what you expected?

They made for a very comfortable week, just wish jacko and Gav didn't snore so loud! If you're worried about using the beds, don't be, as the matresses are wrapped so no nasty odours and the hut was well maintained. The BBQ area is a nice touch for the social in the evening. The toilets and shower are very clean and work well.

Were you happy with them?

No complaints! Only thing to say is if it's windy when your there - latch the huts doors properly or they tend to swing open with a crash (sorry Bruno about the glass). There's also a boat to use to check spots when you arrive,

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes I would recommend the venue. Its not an easy water but if you listen to Bruno he will give you a good start. Just don't forget to mix things up if things get tough. Use the boat to find the spots, snags etc. There was silk weed, deepsilt in places, rocks, snags and bars to find.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, been using angling lines off and on for years

Last point is a big thank you to Bruno! When one of our party had an accident late at night, he came out to help. He organised medical help that saved alot of hassle with us trying to speak French to emergency services. After a night in hospital, jacko was back with us. BRUNO YOU ARE A LEGEND.
