General Comments:

The bailiff didn't even bother walking us around the lake or walking down to the lake to see if anyone was catching.Dissapointed that the confirmation given wasn't accurate before we left. This is clearly a bait boat water. If that is the case then why can't anglers who dont book exclusive use one. Not a single angler caught that week Grass carp yes, sturgeon yes, but no carp. Unless this lake can be booked exclusive i'd imagine there would be a trend for this to happen.

Details of your catches:

All caught big sturgeon between 50 to 65lb was the biggest. Shane, fed up with catching the sturgeon changed his swim and within a day Chrissy Collins who'd moved into his vacant swim brought in a lovely 53.08 lb mirror. But Jason had the best of the week which was a 58lb mirror! I actually blanked on the carp side.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Just spodding when we arrived conditions were perfect but the next day, sun came out, high pressure and the carp started to spawn! Thats fishing.... but this is still the best lake we have ever been to. Mehdi and the facilities etc spot on.

This is the 3rd year we have fished Laroussi and each year the catches are getting better , It`s a hard water but if you are prepared to work at it the rewards are well worth the effort .The French owner Medhi is a superb host and he will give you all the advice you want to help you catch . We have already booked for 2011 ,enough said !!!
