Details of your catches:

116 carp including grass carp.
What we weren't told about or expected was the lake was full of bream which were a pain. Constant bites from 2lb bream is not what we expect going to france for big carp. We all took smaller baits than we would have done had we known about this issue. Pellets and particles were a waste of time.

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. It is highly unusual for bream to be a bother on this lake and not something we have seen in reviews previously. Whilst we do see some from time to time, they are usually far outweighed by carp, which thankfully was also the case on this week. However, we fully appreciate that they were not listed in the 'fish' description on the venue page and we have now added this as a head's up.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Boilies

Were the facilities what you expected?

A bit underwhelmed. Only one toilet and shower shared for the 3 lakes. Basic but clean facilities. Freezer struggled to keep things frozen in the heat.
Drinking water was a bonus.

Were you happy with them?

Not amazing but manageable

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Need to remove the bream and a lot of the silverfish. Almost ruined the trip and no details about this on the website. Completely changes how you need to fish and what baits to bring order and use. The carp stock is very impressive though!

Also emailed with questions about the trip and to order bait before hand and never had a response. Seems like owner/bailiff only responds to Facebook enquiries but this wasn't detailed in angling lines info. Once there couldn't fault the service, very friendly and there to help but also let us get on with the fishing.

*Angling Lines note* We have discussed with bailiff Mark, unfortunately because the email had an empty subject line it went into the spam folder and was missed, we apologise. Emails are checked and the venue is also contactable by phone or whatsapp (included on the info pack).

Angling lines were great, responded quickly with any questions and were helpful.

General Comments:

Fantastic holiday, some lovely fish caught, no mosquito this time which is a massive bonus, most of our fish came at night time with just a few in the day

Details of your catches:

20 fish in total with an average weight of over 30lb. Smallest was 18lb and largest was 41lb, with plenty mid 30s.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Far bank fishing using either a single pop up or snowman with house boilie.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Perfect, fridge and freezer available as well as electric points. Each peg is designated their own space for each appliance so never without room. Showers and toilets are really nice and the building everything is housed in is immaculate.

Were you happy with them?

More than happy. Very comfortable areas on all pegs.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

100%. Lovely fishery and the fish in there are in such good condition. This is testament to how Mark runs the water.

I have used angling lines now 4 times and it’s been such a pleasure everytime. I have needed to call a few times to amend some things and every time they have been outstanding and try their best to help you.
