Details of your catches:

4 mirrors to 53.12lb
5 commons to 33lb
3 grass carp to 37.12
2 baby cats
2 tench

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

2 pieces of critically balanced corn over a big bed of partiblend.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, could maybe do with a microwave and another toilet block at the far end of the lake. It’s a long walk with your bottom clenched when nature calls. Maybe having a few bikes for the Angler’s at the far end to use could be an alternative?

Were you happy with them?

Yes very clean and tidy

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes already have many times over the years

General Comments:

It was a tough week with temperatures being high. All fish were caught between 9pm and 9am. Listen to Mehdi the man knows the lake like the back of his hand, he can’t do enough for you.

The best method seemed to be drop your rigs with a boat boat full of partiblend and then “ring the dinner bell” over the top of it. I alone put 70kg in on just 2 spots.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Started the week with a mixture of hemp, flaked corn and salted chilli maize with Krill boilies, (10 mm and 15 mm). Fished a variety of coloured pop ups over the top, putting 12 kg of bait out over 6 rods per day. Fish were consistent all week, catching from lots of different spots.
Laroussi is a lake where you have to watch the fish. You have to fish where the fish are. Speak to Mehdi in great detail about your swim choice as he knows the lake inside out, he will put you in the right spots.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Exactly as expected.

Were you happy with them?

There is everything you need for a drive and survive holiday with good freezer space.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

No because I don't want anyone else to know about it! Want to keep it a secret for myself. My favourite place to fish in France, it reminds me of an English water but with much better weather and so much privacy between swims.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes.

General Comments:

This is my third visit and Mehdi was an absolute superstar again. Fishing wasn't easy, you really have to work at it and be patient with the lake itself, but it gave Ben (age 13) the opportunity to see what fishing abroad is really like and it was worth it just to see his face when he caught 50!!

Fishing bit slow but hubby managed to bag lake record for a common so turned out brilliant for him in the end. Also big thanks to Julie from angling lines who was extremely helpful with a personal problem we had.
