Our trip started at 2 am on the Saturday morning for our Dover to Calais crossing all 6 of us ready for our annual fishing trip. We arrived at the lake at 2.30 pm... yes 12 hrs motoring (so this gives you an idea if you want to travel this route) and was greeted by the owner Menhdi who ran through some of the rules (no litter no fag buts left on the ground, bottles kept apart from rubbish) and rightly so when you see what he has done to the place.

We all picked swims and we were off. Now me and 4 of the lads go to France every year but this year we had a new comer Alun who slept all the way there and was full of life unlike the rest of us who were knackered - he found himself a small corner away from us all.

At 1.30am came my first fish a grass carp at 36.4lb but unfortunately I have no photo as
for the life of me I could not wake my mate Geoff up .The fishing had started I thought to my self , the weather in the morning and for the rest of the week was roasting and large carp graced our banks after many false runs which you get used to – thanks Mr Sturgeon!

Aluns first fish came after 2 days but I have to take my hat of to the bloke he worked hard at it and although it was his first time in France and his pb only 19lb,on this trip he smashed it over and over again. He had many fish - his largest carp at 35lb & sturgeon at 45lb - and although the famous 5 had all caught good fish the
little bugger had showed us how to do it and caught more than us! Well done mate!!

The largest carp to grace our bank was a 36.12lb mirror & 50lb sturgeon but many thirties were caught.

All I can say is that its a cracking lake with good facilities Mehdi a great bloke who is always there if you need him and he can give you some good tips and don't forget there are some large fish there also. We will be back next year for sure!

Tony Mason
