Details of your catches:

Caught 12 fish in total, all stunning fish and in perfect condition. Caught 3 of the 14 Koi from there 41lb common 17lb Koi 40.5lb mirror 31lb mirror 31 lb mirror 20lb White koi 35lb scaled mirror 35lb orange Koi 39lb mirror 53lb common 18lb mirror 25lb mirror We we're on peg 1 and the fish were definitely in front of 2, 3, 4 and 5 so we were pleased with the catch

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Random dropping PVA bag with boilies rather than heavily baited area. Caught on plastic boilies and corn, and real boilies and tiger nuts so anything goes

Were the facilities what you expected?

Big shower room (whole cabin), clean, hot water, best we've had and fished many lakes in France. Separate cabin to charge everything.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, very good. Peg 1 could do with a bit of repair as the front of the swim has eroded away a bit, but they were clean and big for 2 anglers

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely, and we would fish here again

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, done 4 trips through AL and always been great service and communication

General Comments:

I was concerned at the lack of reviews but this lake is underrated and the owner Constant said that when people catch loads they very rarely leave a review, the slightest issue then they complain. Constant the owner speaks good english and couldn't do enough for you

Details of your catches:

Overall was slow, this was mainly due to the heat. Evening and through the night, where most of the fish were caught. About 10 fish in total, mirrors, commons and 1 tench.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tried most tactics. But overall plastic baits or tigers worked. Also loads of crayfish. I caught 4 carp and 1 Tench all on Ronnie Rig, plastic corn and tigers. Tried Zigs through the day, due to the heat, nothing. Not as much weed as normal apparently. So lake a bit murky not gin clear as on the pictures.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, as per the website.

Were you happy with them?

Water ran out, but Constant came straight out to fill it up. Does have a freezer, but could do with a fridge. Also could do with a sink, maybe outside, to clean dishes etc.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes

General Comments:

Overall its a good venue, but we had very hot weather. So through the day its suntan weather. I think September would be a good month.

Details of your catches:

8 fish landed for the week. 8 doubles, 3 twenties, 4 thirties and 3 forties of 45, 46 and 49lb plus a couple of losses. Beautiful hard fighting fish in great condition. Fishing was definitely not easy and probably not suited to those without boat or weed fishing experience, but great fun. Catching revolved around finding small clear spots in heavy weed with an echo sounder from the boat, heavy accurate baiting and leaving baits in position for 18-24hrs. Heavy weed and crayfish were problematic at times.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Heavy baiting (5-10kg per rod per day), on small clear hard spots in heavy weed. All fish were caught on 15mm wafters on standard lead clip set ups but with heavy leaders and 6 ounce leads dropped from a boat. Baits needed to be wrapped due to crayfish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were basic but clean and functional. Definitely not a luxury venue, but as expected and helped maintain a natural feel to the venue.

Were you happy with them?

Yes as expected.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

General Comments:

Great venue, great host, challenging but rewarding fishing, will be back.

Were the facilities what you expected?

yes

Were you happy with them?

basic but did the job. Boats and motor supplied were of a high standard

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

yes

General Comments:

Tough week due to carp spawning, active crayfish and huge floating weed beds taking out the lines on a regular basis. The lake clearly holds some impressive carp, the swims all give plenty of water per angler and the owner Constant is always there if needed.
