Details of your catches:

Between the 6 of us we had a mixture of mid 30s and 40s - Mirrors, commons and the odd grassy.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

20mm boilie and a pop up snowman on 5 inch rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Absolutely. Amazing for a social, sitting in the lodge everyday, cooking and laughing together. Even had a couple of movie nights.

Were you happy with them?

Absolutely, so much so that I couldn’t imagine organising another boys trip without similar facilities. Barry really has thought about what he wanted his lake to be. Based on his own fishing trips around Europe, he’s designed a lake that allows for a social without the need to bring your rods in.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

110% - Lads groups, families, any group would have an amazing trip.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Absolutely. The trip was easy to book and angling lines helped us out at the drop of a hat more than once.

Just an overall amazing trip. Barry was fantastic. He was on hand straight away with tips and advice, always at the end of the phone if you’ve got any questions on spots or tactics. The facilities are fantastic, the socials are top, and that’s all without the mention of his pristine carp. What a lake, what a holiday!

General Comments:

Great looking lake. Barry good host very helpful. Lake was quite full so made it quite difficult,
boats were required which we wasn’t made aware of so had to hire motors at 70 euro each (so if you going over take your own motor if you have one. We had motors but wasn’t made aware). Boats need rowlocks only one had them. Nice secure premises. Unfortunately no way of releasing water levels so most fish hiding behind trees which would normally just be overhanging the water not in it.
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback, we really appreciate it. We have discussed the missing rowlocks with the owner. He advised that on arrival, anglers are given the option to use the boats with either oars and rowlocks or with motors. If rowlocks are required, a set is available in the facilities lodge, and more can be provided at any time if needed. Just to clarify, boats with oars and life jackets are provided free of charge. It is only the motors and batteries that are chargeable, which can be hired at the lake, or you are very welcome to bring your own.
