Details of your catches:

52 fish

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Small amount

Were the facilities what you expected?

Long way from the lakes if you did not take a bike. Very long walk, 20 mins each way and to get there then full. Need more wc and shower facilities even if they have to be beside what they have

Were you happy with them?

All clean and good

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes definitely very good

General Comments:

Too many small fish and although I no they do have big fish we could not find them. 52 fish catch is ok but half less than 10 pounds, long way to go for that size fish. Better look on the next trip to France

Details of your catches:

Caught 25 fish, from 4lb to 34lb, smaller than expected although weather conditions extremely hot, most catches where in the night. But rats are prolific *Angling Lines note* We have discussed this with the bailiff - 2 rats were reported during the week, these are actively managed.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Single hook baits

Were the facilities what you expected?

No, when you book an exclusive lake you would think that the facilities would also be exclusive, but had to share with all other gentlemen on the lake. *Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback. Whilst the lake is exclusive to you, the Jonchery complex shares one facilities block and we include this information in the write-up.

Were you happy with them?

They where ok, but not enough for the amount of people they where catering for. 1 shower, 1 toilet.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

No

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes

Details of your catches:

20 x carp to 30lb, lots of small cats (between 3 and 7 lb), one cat of 54lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Single bottom baits over pellet, using bait boat. Tried snowman and pop up rigs, most carp caught on slip D rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities have been improved, better than when I visited in the past.

Were you happy with them?

Yes.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

On the results we had, not really, but I’m sure given better weather conditions the catches would have been better.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes Angling Lines are a top company. Will help in any way they can.

General Comments:

The week we fished it reached 39 degrees most days, the only shade we had was sitting behind van which you park at back of swim. There is a lot of very small catfish. Supposedly Jonchery 8 has a larger (weight) size than Jonchery 7, but in our opinion find it hard to believe, having fished Jonchery 7 a couple of times before.
