Details of your catches:

Well where do I start. Last week I tried everything four different baits, zigs pop ups fake corn all with the same result nothing. I have been fishing in France for years and never blanked this was the worst lake I have ever fished. Crayfish are a problem and in years to come there will be a problem with weed good luck to anybody who fishes it. It definitely won’t be me

General Comments:

First time I’ve blanked, lots of money spent on bait etc for nothing. *Owner's Note* I fully appreciate the first week of October was very, very slow. The customer did hook a few carp, but they were lost. The crayfish are still present in the lake, but I do my best to remove them with traps. I have also ordered some black bass from a local fish farmer because they eat the crayfish. For the last month we have had only a few anglers that have experienced hookbaits that have been nibbled.’

Details of your catches:

It’s was a bit of a slow week for us. The weather was against us. Warm days and cold nights with high pressure played havoc with the fishing. Still managed to catch 3 carp and Steve the sturgeon. My wife only had the one carp and lost Steve twice. Stupid Steve lol.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Best tactics was a 18mm live system bottom bait topped off with a pink pop up. Big beds of bait they seem to shy away from so if you put a big bed of bait out I’d only fish one rod on it and keep you options open. Small scattering did bait works best.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities are just what you want. Hot and cold running water with shower and toilet cubicle. Also a kitchen area with freezer and cooking equipment. Always keep clean and tidy.

Were you happy with them?

Very happy indeed with the venue. Bruno is a great host and always happy to give you tips on where to fish. Couldn’t do enough for us. A very big thank you to him.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would most definitely recommend it it others. You have plenty of water to fish too and loads of options. The cabin is great for people that would love a little more shelter.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

I would recommend angling lines to anyone. As it’s well run and any information and enquiries asked were asked quickly.
