Details of your catches:

Very few fish caught, it did 6 fish the week previous, Medhi put it down to weather. We caught 8 between five. My first fish was on the Monday in Le Anse, 46.8 common, had a 16 and 17 common also. Very hard lake if inexperienced, especially when weather not ideal. Small cats are very much in evidence.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

I caught on bottom baits but i wonder if zigs would have been better, plenty of aeriel displays and fish in upper layers due to heat etc, water was 22 degrees.

Were the facilities what you expected?

They were ok

Were you happy with them?

I rarely used them, they were fine for others

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Only if they were prepared to sit it out and wait for the big fish

General Comments:

It was a tough week, i have carp fished for over 30 years, this was my 20th french trip and it had me scratching my head. I think the high temperatures, water temperature, high pressure and humidity may have played a major part in the lack of action. Very slow week, very frustrating but I did learn something for if I returned. Medhi was a great bloke.

Details of your catches:

14 fish mostly Grass Carp 3 over 40lb biggest of 47lb. 1 common 43lb and 1 Mirror 48.7lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Large beds of bait meant you had to wait a long time for bites. We found 3-5 spombs over a tight area on gravel patches worked the best. Fish showed all day and all night at range over 200yrds. 7 fishermen on the lake in total caught over 30 fish. Match the hatch boilies worked well, Ronnie Rigs and multi Rigs worked best. IQD Rigs did not.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes fantastic facilities.

Were you happy with them?

More than happy

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes definitely.

General Comments:

Although there were not alot of carp caught for this week we had a few good fish. Towards mid week the weather turned extremely hot 36 degrees centigrade plus. The heat stopped the fish feeding and there were no bites after this. it seemed after talking to many other anglers fishing in France that week it was the same throughout.
