General Comments:

This was our 2nd visit to Eau De Vie South. We returned because our Hosts Gary, Angelique and Tyler are so very accommodating, most importantly the food is fantastic and Oh! by the way the fishing is pretty good too.
My 1st fish of the week was a massive 52lb mirror and unbelievably I caught it again on the last day. Tyler came to assist with the 52lb on the last day in the middle of the night and without doubt the teamwork of all involved (including Ben & Jake from North Lake) made this week for me a fishing experience of a lifetime. Just got to mention Angelique and thank her for her great sense of humour and for spending some Girlie time and a bottle of Rose with my wife.
Great hosts, great Venue and hopefully we will be back again soon.

Details of your catches:

Steady week with 14 fish in total - 2 doubles, 10 twenties, & 2 thirties. The thirties being 34lb Grass Carp & 34lb 8oz Mirror Carp.
Fish were still gathered in the deeper water and feeding lightly.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishing over around a handful of mixed maize, pellet and chopped boilie, snowman with yellow tipped, garlic krill lake bait, pink pop ups, or wafters. Garlic flavourings with the baits proving successful, only the Grassy falling to Pineapple bait.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Very good, couldn't really fault anything.

Were you happy with them?

Definitely, really nice location, well appointed cabin, absolutely great.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes without a doubt. Perfect for small group or couple.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Already have, have booked with you for a good number of years, service is perfect.

General Comments:

Really great venue, food package was amazing, really looked after Jen being a vegetarian. Enjoyed so much we were already planning to return before we had left, and now booked for next year. Hopefully the bigger fish will come out to play.

Details of your catches:

Grass and Common carp.
6 x 30 + lb
2 x 20 + lb
Smaller common

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Gary’s inferno, snowman and round wafters on a multi-rig. Positioned close to the trees.
Always put a rod out in the middle of the lake at night from the accommodation!!
Gary is very approachable and very helpful with a wealth of knowledge.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities are excellent the lake is stunning and the location peaceful and tranquil.
We went into the local Town to a great supermarket for some drinks for the fridge it’s less than 10 minutes away.
The accommodation is perfect for a week’s fishing. Decent sized bedrooms and it’s always nice to have a good fridge for your clod drinks. Great having your meals overlooking the lake.
There was only 1 fishing and the non-angler enjoyed the peace, sun and the sun bed provided.
The food was excellent. The full English breakfast is large very well cooked and sets you up for the day and the evening meal again is quality finished off with a lovely desert.

Were you happy with them?

Gary and Angeline were fantastic hosts, providing quality fishing, food and a venue. What’s really nice is the couple just let you get on with your holiday but are always available to help.
Every Thursday they put on a BBQ which everyone enjoyed with superb food and a beer.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Would definitely recommend to friends and will be coming back. For me that says it all!
