General Comments:

I was shocked to catch so many fish at the time of year. New PB and lake record common, many other beauties. Water temp was 5deg but fish were very active. Very happy!

Laroussi is a beautiful lake, with a fantastic owner. We were on a no baitboat week, and the fish are cute, and sit out of range, also very high pressure, which made it harder.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

As a booking agent you are second to none, always top end service.

General Comments:

Beautiful lake, great owner, we just picked the wrong week. Its very hard without a baitboat, as fish push out to where there's no line pressure. There is no doubt there's some big fish in laroussi.

Details of your catches:

1 fish on Tuesday

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The week was hard, nothing worked. We did bottom baits, wafters, pop up. All colours and fake corn. Fished on gravel bars, silt, next to trees, weed. Deep water, shallows. Fish are rig shy, I would suggest fish for a bite at a time, with limited stock and no competition for food due to cats removed and any grass under 50lb the fish are free to just pick at food this time of the year.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, all clean, no cooking facilities, just shower toilet and fridge freezer, but that’s all you need.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Medhi was as we expected very friendly and helpful. Fantastic looking lake. Swims could do with some work and the road noise is from midnight to 9am.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, fished with Angling Lines a few times now and never any problems

General Comments:

With a bit of work to the swims, an increase in fish stocks this will be once again a Great Lake. Shame you can’t do anything with the road noise. *Angling Lines note* Thanks for your feedback Brian, you had a really tough week. Mehdi has now stocked a further 27 of his home-grown carp this December, all beautiful linears or heavily scaled. All photos can be found in the latest news section.

Details of your catches:

26 fish during the week between 4 of us. Catches as follows; Neil Grass Carp 62lb12oz Mirror Carp 48lb9oz Common Carp 35lb8oz Common Carp 22lb Sarah Common Carp 42lb3oz Grass Carp 40lb4oz Mirror Carp 31lb3oz Common Carp 17lb8oz and Terry the Tench Phil Mirror Carp 50lb5oz Mirror Carp 35lb2oz Common Carp 27lb Cat 22lb Brett (14 fish in total) Grass Carp 62lb Biggest Common Carp 51lb 4oz Biggest Mirror Carp 45lb8oz Couple of cats

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Mix of Ronnie rig with pop ups, fake corn popped up or critically balanced. Feed a spot with parti mix and some bollie (DNA, CC Moore, Cell etc all used during the week) from Mehdi and give it a day or two/three. The fish will come......

Were the facilities what you expected?

Second visit so knew what to expect. Took our own microwave so we could do rice etc and a gas BBQ for everything else. Loo, shower and sink all fine, large fridge freezer for food and drinks then a big chest freezer for baits etc if you need it. All clean when we arrived and left equally as clean when we departed.

Were you happy with them?

Indeed, not luxury but perfect for a week on the bank.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, definitely not a runs water and you will have to work for your fish but once you are on them you will be rewarded with a good size fish for your efforts.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, AL have been great, this trip was supposed to take place 3 years ago ut given everything with COVID etc they have been great in changing and keeping any additional costs to a minimum.
