Details of your catches:

A challenging week but very rewarding with 2 x 60lb+ carp on the bank. I think we had around 17 carp in total for the week

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

small baited areas in open water in the central part of the lake was the best tactic

Were the facilities what you expected?

Ok

Were you happy with them?

Facilities are okay

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, Fully's lake has some INCREDIBLE carp with many of the stock over 40lb+ the lake has a certain charm and challenge to it that definitely draws you back! nice big swims, great views and awesome weather systems that roll through this region of France. Facilities are basic but do the job for a weeks fishing.

General Comments:

It was easy to book up, I did not do anything, angling lines sorted it all

Details of your catches:

1 immaculate common of 46lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We struggled with just the one fish between us. I had that on a nut bait wafter over a clay area toward the centre of the lake where we'd seen fish. They were showing a fair bit at night in various parts of the lake and we tried them all with all the normal tactics but couldn't entice any further bites. We didn't try zigs and perhaps they're worth a go. Crays were present and nibbled the baits a little but not too bad and my nut based baits seemed to be left alone.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, although the toilet near swim 1 was out of action.

Were you happy with them?

Yes. The facilities are basic but functional. Freezer and toilet worked fine. It may be a stretch to describe the shower as hot but it does the job and otherwise what you get is exactly as per the listing.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely. Friendly owner, clean well maintained banks. Very picturesque, great atmosphere and with a superb stock.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes.

General Comments:

Very happy with Angling Lines as always. Also very happy with Fullys Lake and looking forward to a return trip. We only had the one fish between two of us on a lake exclusive but - queue excuses - it was high pressure, clear cold conditions with a north easterly blowing all week and many lakes in France fished poorly. It was our first visit to Fullys and evidently we've much to learn about this venue. However we had a great week still because it's a lovely lake. Beautiful scenery and views, amazing wildlife, the night skies were brilliant. We even had some bonus Euro fighter flyovers during the days. Not to mention the stock. The fish we heard crashing at night, giants, just makes you want to go back. With better weather and a little gained knowledge I'm sure this lake will produce some magic as it does for others but even on a slow week there is so much there to enjoy.

Details of your catches:

30 carp caught, ranging from 16lb - 67lb 6oz

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

A mixture of tactics worked, but mainly fishing over heavily baited areas produced the best fish and results, different rigs used but spinner/blowback produced most of the bites

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Could do with a bit of tlc
