General Comments:

Due to the 40 deg temperature fishing was tough. Excellent lake with very big fish but don't fish this lake expecting large number of catches - for the specimen hunter only.

General Comments:

Mehdi was the best host in 5 years of fishing in France, most helpfull, great sense of humour. Very good venue. Weed was a bit a problem. Too hot during the day, night produced more. Would come again but earlier or later in the year.

General Comments:

The lake is not an out + out runs water. The fishing can be hard but if you work at your fishing the results can be phenominal! I love Laroussi. Mehdi says : An excellent week with plenty of fish... fish has finished to spawn and they are hungry ! Well done even for the huge Eel and the record crucian carp !
