3 anglers

Details of your catches:

15 carp from 26lbs to 41lbs
Peg 1 8x carp
Peg 2 5x carp
Peg 3 2x carp

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Gluged source boilies over bed of pellets taken to about a rod length off far margin using bait boat was the most productive method.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes extremely pleased with everything about this venue.

Were you happy with them?

Extremely happy.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Already have. I've fished in France every year for nearly 20 years, and this is one of, if not THE best fishery I've been too.
Clean and tidy very good communication with the owner Phillipe, and also Jan and Joanne.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes 1000%, extremely professional approach to your services and customers. Nothing is too much trouble. Special thanks to Linda who at the drop of a hat organised an earlier ferry crossing for us, thank you Linda and angling lines.

General Comments:

I really can't see any of the negative comments being of concern.

The fishing was difficult, but we all enjoyed trying to find a method to catch. If you're prepared to make the effort and not just chuck it out and open a double strength bottle of larger, the rewards are there.

The venue was absolutely immaculate and the staff were very helpful and polite. So 20 out of 10 for us.

Details of your catches:

11 fish total, biggest @ 45lb. Plenty of missed runs so should have been more. Only 1 fish caught in the day, the rest were at night.
The weather was very hot which made the fishing a lot harder.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fished mostly to the far margin. Boilies topped with fake corn or snowman style seemed to work well
The silt is very deep and difficult to find and clear spots but fishing helicopter style should leave your bait above the silt

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were more that adequate and always kept clean and tidy. We had the food package which is well worth the money and Joanne couldn’t have been more accommodating.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes

General Comments:

Fishing was though due to the hot weather. Since the trees were cut down the only shade can be found in the out of bounds area so the fish tend to hold up there and move out at night.
The fishing was very enjoyable but I would say that it is not a runs water anymore
