Details of your catches:

Commons, mirrors and grass carp up into the 30s

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Small hookbaits baits (wafters mainly) over a small amount of bait

Were the facilities what you expected?

Exactly what we expected, everything we needed

Were you happy with them?

Facilities and surroundings are perfect, it’s a great venue to be at for a week (or longer) and everything you need is there.
For us this week was slower than normal as the carp had only recently finished spawning (and actually had another go midweek)…. But we still had a great time and I’m looking forward to my next trip in August.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

General Comments:

Thanks for another great trip - see you in a few weeks

Details of your catches:

21 fish, a good return considering the bigger fish were spawning. Gary told us the smaller fish had spawned and sure enough the majority of our fish were between the 20 and 25 lb mark, highlights included a 30lb grass carp, a couple of upper 20s, a 30lb immaculate common and a new PB for John of a spawned out 48.8 mirror.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Inferno lake boilie topped with hit and run pop up or fake corn

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities are basic, but perfect for the 3 of us, spotlessly clean and well appointed

Were you happy with them?

100%

General Comments:

Gary and Ang where excellent owners/hosts, nothing to much trouble and on hand to help if required. Food package well worth having, evening meals where spot on, filling and very tasty, even pinched a recipe it was that good

Details of your catches:

26 fish were caught in total. 14 mirrors to 54lb 10oz (lake record), 10 commons to 27lb 10oz and 3 grass carp to 30lb 8oz

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

All fish came on fluorocarbon D-Rigs, apart from one on a 4ft zig. Sweetcorn appears to be a very good quick bite tactic also.
Majority of fish came tight to the margins.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were great with hot running water for the sink and shower. The facilities were very clean and are kept to a high standard.
The owners make you feel just like your at home.

Were you happy with them?

We were more than happy with the facilities and the venue. The shower is very good and refreshing, and the cabin contains fridges to keep everything cool.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would 100% recommend the venue to a friend, or any group of anglers looking for a good social week whilst having a solid chance of a PB. We all beat our own personal PB's within the first 24 hours.

Gary and Angeline make you feel right at home from the start of the holiday, up until the end. They are welcoming, friendly and always on hand to help where required. Piper the dog is also good fun!!

General Comments:

Eau De Vie is a great venue and I highly recommend it to any angler.
If you choose this venue then I highly advise the full food package. Angeline's cooking is sublime include fresh home cooked food. Gary also cooks up a mean BBQ on the Thursday for a great social evening. A* venue!!
