General Comments:

Mehdi is a diamond, leaves you alone unless you need him. Been going to france for 10 years but this venue blows the rest out the water already booked for the next trip. Stunning place and the hardest fighting I've ever encountered.

MIRRORS - 55LB 6OZ, PB 51LB 8OZ, 47LB 2OZ, 46LB 4OZ, 43LB 4OZ, 39LB 6OZ
COMMONS - 44lb 8oz, PB 41LB 12OZ, 37LB 5OZ.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Best tactics/bait
Home made cell wafters, boated out 120yds to a gravel spot, along with a handful of ground bait per rod, made up of Medhi's parti mix, crumbled cell boilies, and chilli hemp spiced with garlic powder and salt.
Mid week the bites were non existent from La Plage, but the carp do tend to move around on this lake. To draw them back to the swim, ground was increased to 1 kilo per rod, may be this was the reason they returned !!

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes Indeed they were, with ample freezer space, hot shower etc, although cooking facilities would have been an added bonus.

Were you happy with them?

Yes Was I happy with them
Very much so, most welcome at those times you need a break and freshening up.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes Indeed I would and in fact have done so, but to the individual angler like myself you become a victim of Laroussi's success and find it difficult to get a booking at peak times. Perhaps the way forward would be to literally plague Linda and Julie frequently for any individual cancellations, or indeed be placed on a waiting list if one exists

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes Most certainly I would. The professional and personal service provided goes a long way in taking care of the smaller details sometimes forgotten or tedious, thank you for that.

General Comments:

Now what can I say about this "dream of a lake" that has not already been said many times. The swims are natural in that there are no manufactured areas that take away from the natural charm of the place. The management, welfare and ownership of Laroussi are to be applauded, all of these are a credit to you Medhi, and provide us anglers with a venue that in my eyes is second to none. Since my return to carp fishing I've searched for the as "close to ideal" venue.....no need to look any further, I've found it and thank you again Angling Lines

Details of your catches:

43 fish in total 3 fifties to 58.4 53 & 52.2 all fell to chabs!!! 6 forties to 46.12 mr.woods. Numerous thirties twenties and upper doubles 10 grasses!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Far margin, gravel bars/patches deeper water, particle did the trick fish for a bite at a time.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes good shower, fridge and freezer. Cooker and another freezer wouldn't go amiss- 5 of us couldn't get all our bait in freezer. That was the only down side to a superb venue.

Were you happy with them?

Yes as above.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes fantastic lake with some proper lumps already booked our next trip there!

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes another good all round trip with Anglinglines thanks.

66lb mirror Carp,
Four 40lb + Mirror Carp,
one 37lb Mirror Carp,
Five Grass carp to 39lb,

Pick the spots, usually small gravel bars, feed the little and often with particle and boillie

General Comments:

Mehdi is a very friendly and helpful host. The lake is a hard water that takes a lot of work to produce fish on the bank. The quality of the fish is superb, and along with the amazing setting, made our holiday perfect. This will not be the last visit to Laroussi!!

We would like to thank Mehdi and his family for allowing us to create memories that will stay with us forever. A truly wonderful place!
