General Comments:

My second 2 week visit to Eau De Vie this year. The first week with temperatures in the 40’s, it was never going to be easy so more sunbathing than fishing!
The second week much cooler and as a result with Gary’s help had 12 fish on the bank. Gary & Angeline are fantastic hosts and the food was exceptional. I’m already counting the days until my next visit in October.

9 fish in total.
2 x grass carp 25lb 6oz/ 30lb 4oz

Pop ups over particle mix and pellet, some with attractants. Fished margins in day when temperatures were high and open water and margins at night.

The owners are passionate about fishing and are constantly looking to improve and iron out any imperfections. “How that is possible to improve upon I do not know I can’t find any faults at all!” We were made to feel welcomed the moment we arrived. Their hospitality was fantastic. The accommodation was clean, in fact spotless. We opted for the food package and it was incredible. The food was so good that I am not looking forward to going home!!! For anglers reading and comparing other Venus then DO NOT PASS THIS ONE BY BOOK IT.......You will not find one better. Well done and thank you Gary and Angeline

Following Gary’s tips and spots.
Margins during the day and open water at night. Both bottom bait and pop ups produced carp, although meatier baits preferred. Lake pellet and particle was used in the bait boat we hired, for accuracy and margins
