General Comments:

Unfortunately the week we arrived, the fish were showing signs of spawning. TBH, we were lucky to catch any at all because by the middle of the week, the fish had totally turned off as had other things on their mind. Emeraude is a lovely venue and we particularly liked the fact that it had a really good depth of water. We’d love to return at a different time of the year as these fish are definitely catchable and there are crackers to be caught. We saw them!!

Details of your catches:

6 carp between 2 anglers

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Margin was very good and pink popup or pink/orange wafter were the best. Spinner rigs and multi combis. Pellet and boilies are very good and making mixes with goo is also the same. Dry/ wet are both good mixes.
