Bob - 43lb 8oz mirror, 18lb mirror, 13lb mirror

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bottom baits, wafters and pop ups worked and the colour pink on baits were accounting for many of the fish caught. We were all reserved with baiting due to the spawning fish but used boilies over particle to margins in lodge one and open water and margins from lodge two. Increase baiting after each fish and build your swim, most of us all caught off all three rods. Be prepared in some instances to sit on your hands and most bites we had come after 15 hours plus of the baits being in.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Shower / Toilet and cabin on site were brilliant we all were able to shower and have lots of hot water. There was a tall fridge freezer and a seperate bait freezer which was great. Everywhere was clean and tidy and the lodges on each island were a god send. Two beds in each and lots of storage. The fridge was brilliant in each lodge with lighting too was great.

Were you happy with them?

More than happy Bruno was a top lad who was very helpful and on hand by a quick call if needed. Nothing was too much trouble, he left us to enjoy our week and was not intrusive at all. Wi-Fi was a bonus in the lodges and there was a decent tackle shop in the village called prestige tackle. Everywhere clean and tidy.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes I would recommend this venue, I knew of it when I fished Molyneux previously on another booking. We would all like to come back again as the lake, surroundings the location and ease from Calais, a passionate hard working guy in Bruno who makes the stay an even more welcoming one with advice and areas to target. It is very quiet and peaceful and secure and that is all part of the experience for me not just the fishing, it ticks all the boxes and I cannot fault it in any way.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

I have been on 4 trips with Angling Lines over the years and they make it easier for me to coordinate and book my group of mates in for a holiday. It makes booking the venue and ferry together so easy and they are always pleasant on the phones and have excellent online comms via a customer area and emails.

General Comments:

Having been on 3 previous trips with Angling Lines and having been to the area to fish Molyneux I knew the location, scenery and peace and tranquility would be a real hit with my mates when I chose to pick a venue and they were not disappointed.

Bruno greeted us and had our bait prepared ready for a good walk round the lake and the excitement was building. We all settled into the lodges ready to commence fishing. However, it was more than a fishing break but a holiday with a group of lads that have families and jobs and it was a chance to escape it all for a week and have some much needed bank time, beers and laughs together.

Fishing was on and off with the fish in some instances thinking of spawning and were spawning during our stay, we had to plod along and persevere. There were groups of fish boshing out in the shallows and we were hopeful to pick up something during the week.

Bruno was helpful and always a phone call away, he allowed us to feel welcome and be of assistance if required without being intrusive. The lake is in a picturesque secure location with Pacy Sur eure being a 10 minute drive away. You are left at a lake with no road noise and only sounds of the wildlife.

During the week I rested my spot and for a few hours went down the river and it only took an hour and I was into a hard fighting common carp on the river. After a tough battle on a stalking rod and light tackle I slipped it over the net cord a 24lb common. An emotional moment as I have always challenged myself to catch a river carp and I achieved that milestone.

During the week I witnessed all my mates catch which was good, a new p.b for a mate, another mate having a good couple of 40s and rediscovering his love for carp fishing, the sturgeon coming out twice in the week and myself completing a challenge of a river carp and catching a sturgeon. All the fish were cracking no matter what the size.

This will live long in the memory and will be one of many more trips to come.

Thank you Bruno and Deux Iles, hopefully see you in a few years time.

Details of your catches:

Only 1 fish caught 23lb common carp.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We tried all the options regarding bait and rigs ect ,Bruno was at a loss as to why we were not having success as we were doing everything right. The fish started to spawn on the Tuesday and we saw no fish movement at all after this in cabin 2, they all went down to Danny at cabin 1 and he had a great week.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were great and no problems at all.

Were you happy with them?

As above 5 star.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes no problem.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Again yes no problem.

General Comments:

I think due to the fish spawn it made cabin 2 a no-no as all the fish went to the other side of the lake, as I said before Bruno could not understand it as to why we were not catching fish.
Bruno is a top man and will do anything to help, we are going back in August so will catch some then.

Details of your catches:

27 carp landed off Island 2, with 5 different fish above 40lb, great to see these fish piling on the weight
