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.

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

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.
