Details of your catches:

Too many catfish. Was doing my best to not use bait to attract them but were all over it. Shame as several double takes from different spots with carp to a nice size and beautiful scale patterns

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Using lake boilies and lake particles kept away from pellet to deter cats but didn’t work 🤔😔

Were the facilities what you expected?

Great toilet, hot clean shower, loads of space in the fridge and freezers

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Can’t speak highly enough about mark his wife and team. COULDN'T DO ENOUGH FOR YOU, even if it meant disturbing their routine. Don’t think I’ve ever met such a genuine helpful pleasant guy as Mark, he’s always smiling

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

First time using Angling lines and really pleased with the service and information. 20 out out 10 for me, would highly recommend

General Comments:

Fishing for us wasn’t as good as expected but fish due to spawn and a lot of catfish in our lake. I don’t realise how many (not doing my homework properly) but we really really enjoyed our visit to a lovely venue and France as ever. Mark and his team 20/10, pleasant happy guy, nothing too much for them to make sure you have a great holiday. After visiting the site would love to fish the main lake and 7!! So as far as I’m concerned my visit was very educational.
A massive thank you Mark

32 caught in total. 18 Carp to 37lb 4oz, a 40lb 4oz Koi and 13 catfish all caught on the lake bait.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

On all our trips to Jonchery we have always found the best tactic is to use the lake bait. Listen to Mark he is spot on with his advice and spots that are catching.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, you get access to a fridge, freezer, charging points, toilet and shower. We choose not to use the cooker and kitchen facilities as we always have Anita’s meal package, the food is delicious and comes highly recommended

Were you happy with them?

Yes more than happy,

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes absolutely and we do!

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, all the time!

Excellent lake, it was about a meter deep all over with some carp holes going down to 1.3m, It’s a 15 min walk from the lake to the toilets and showers.

Overall happy but could do with less kittens in the lake or at least advertise there are alot of cats
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. We’ve spoken to the bailiff Mark and he assures us the catfish are being actively removed, with a keepnet in place for the smaller cats and a netting is planned for the winter to reduce their numbers further. We’ve also now added more information to the venue page on how best to avoid the smaller cats in the meantime.
