General Comments:

We didn't fish much in the day mostly evenings through to the morning. Weather was hot with high pressure. Swim 3 had a few snags near the island but I waded out and removed around 15 rotten tree stumps and big branches inc loads of line.

Was a pleasure rowing over the rope for Phillipe to stop anglers fishing too close to the island from now on.

Joannes food was very good and we all loved her company.

19 fish landed. 2 lost.

48.10lb Mirror

Fantastic Lake. Clean & tidy facilities and surroundings. Joan and Philippe made us feel really welcome. The fishing was tough due to the time of year but we still managed 19 fish between 3 of us and the stamp of fish was very impressive indeed landing two of the biggest fish in the lake.

40 carp between 3 of us, Arron pb 47.13 mirror, Zoe pb 31 1/2 mirror, Frank pb 41 1/2 common

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Could do with a tidy up and clean, disappointed finding food in the fridge and a mouse running round the kitchen, plus the box of poison on top of units

*Owner's note* Joanne usually leaves some food in the freezer when we expect groups who take the food package. She was away for a couple of weeks and before leaving did not empty the freezer. Apologies, it was a miscommunication and we will try to avoid this in the future. Concerning the poison, we do have this on site in case we need to use it, but appreciate we should keep the box somewhere else than the kitchen, it will be moved. We will apply traps for the mouse.

Brilliant week fishing, be nice to try again when snags have been sorted and when it’s a tad warmer, beautiful lake
