Were the facilities what you expected?

2nd visit so I know what facilities were like. Yes big fridge and freezer and plug sockets

Were you happy with them?

Could do with a few more sockets as with a full lake,they were full most of the time with phones, batteries, headlights etc. Maybe the odd rubbish bin on every swim wouldn't go a miss.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

already have

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes. Everytime I ring for a booking or information about any lake,the girls in the office are more than helpful with info,even telling you about new up and coming lakes that they are about to take on

General Comments:

Well 1st of all, Mehdi - such a lovely man, always has a smile. He tells you about last week or previous weeks catches and were from,features in swims etc,always there to help if and when needed. This was my 2nd visit to Laroussi (back in april this year) - such a lovely lake with lots of big fish. Needless to say I blanked in april..but as my comments said.."theres a big fish with my name on it". My previous best was 49lb 10oz from Jonquoy and have been waiting about 6/7 years to bank my 1st 50. This is about my 30th plus trip abroad, about 1/3 with Angling Lines,so as I drive, get to the lake,set up,im not much into fishing hard when I arrive,i find a few features,bait up,and chuck out,on the second day, early hours about 1am,my 2nd rod screamed off,in the pitch black under the light of my cap lamp.i seen what was I can only say....was a big un(and i've cleanded that up lol) I shouted J,the lad next to me to come and give me a hand to weigh it.my 56lb kenwood scales bottomed out,he calculated the weight of over 62lb plus, minus the sling,he said 60lb,after weighing the fish of a life time,my new camera would not work,so I had to take a few pics from my phone,when we were about to return the fish back to the water,i said to J," I didn't want this,i wanted my 50",as we were returning the fish back,my 3rd rod screamed off...and in weighing the fish,J said," I don't believe this "he calculated it at 57 lb....2 monsters inside 15 minutes.I later had 4 runs over next 3 days but didn't connect with them. The other anglers on the lake,a party of 4,kev and kate, well all got on very well,spoke about the days fishing etc,the houling winds and rain we had,but that didn't put off the catches,as 3 other 50lb mirrors were caught by 3 anglers,and a 50lb plus sturgeon to Kev,and a few other big fish in the 40's and 30's....Roll on next april for my next trip

General Comments:

great week with the group looking forward to next year thank you medh,i and angling lines doug.

Details of your catches:

1 x 18lb common 1 x 37lb mirror

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Hard to say as most guys struggled mainly due to the very bright conditions and the distance casting required to reach the fish on the far tree line. Nearlly all the fish that came out that week were at night.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, very much so and no complaints at all.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, and I am looking at going back in the future but hopefully getting a few people together so that we can book it exclusively so that we can use bait boats to get the distances that I can't reach.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes I would, as long as they realise that this is not a runs water but does contain the fish of your dreams. One of the other guys (Steve) had a 67lb'er. There was also a 51lb fish banked and a number of 40's.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Definately. I usually book 4 weeks a year through Angling Lines and have always found you to be helpful.

General Comments:

Laroussi was a totally different water to the types that I usually go to but I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. Mehdi, was always prepared to help and his lovely family were friendly and welcoming. Good luck with the birth of your next child in December.
