Details of your catches:

Mark in l'anse caught 1 sturgeon 57.1, Ryan in le Haut Fond caught 1 sturgeon 62 + 1 grass mid 20s. Top Rod Richard had 6 grass to 29lb. The others shamefully BLANKED!! We cant explain it but so many fish were lost by us and Mehdi said that the group before suffered the same fate. Tried all sorts of rigs to combat this but could not. If we landed all fish then I think we would of cleared about 7 more fish(hopefully not grass)

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We tried all tactics but I would say two pieces of corn had best results as well as snowman and cell with corn top. fishing was very very hard. We had very high pressure and very hot weather little wind and an old wind at that.

Were the facilities what you expected?

yes been b4

Were you happy with them?

yes fine

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

yes,Only if they were experienced as this water is by no means easy. You have to go with the expectations of landing 1 fish of a lifetime otherwise you're in for disappointment. No, If your looking to catch a big haul. I think this is our last trip to laroussi as it is a long way to go for the amount of fish you can expect to haul. Think we will go closer to home where stocks are higher but still with big fish.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes definitely. The service we have received over the last two years has been great.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

zigs, little and often approach, fish would not respond to larger beds of bait and where very riggy
monster squid,cell, in fact most boilies should work well
be aware too much pellet will attract the big cats and sturgeon

Were the facilities what you expected?

large chest freezer, fridge/freezer, uk 240v sockets in cabin, clean toilet and shower, what more do you want !

General Comments:

its was a very hard week, with the weather changing to very hot the day we arrived and was 35+deg most days.
All 8 anglers where good experienced carp fishermen, we tried every trick in the book and some to try and temp the fish but they had more on their minds with the grass carp spawning the main head of the fish where congregating around the spawning area and not interested in feeding.

They are very riggy fish, so dont expect it to be a runs water !

listen to medhi, he is a fantastic guy, very helpful, and will explain what the best areas are on your swim

dont pile the bait in, fish little and often

too much pellet will attract the cats an sturgeon

The village is quite close to the lake (5 min away) and has an 8 till late store, le mans is not too far either (15 min) and has plenty of large shopping facilities fuel etc

all in all a brilliant venue, very clean english looking lake but with some mahoosive fish,,, i will definatelly be going back

thank you medhi, thank you angling lines !

Details of your catches:

It was a very tough week conditions-wise. There were only 5 carp landed (but a fair few that got away by the other lads). I landed 2 carp, one being the biggest of the week which was a carp known as 'The Creature' at a new PB of 57lb 8oz.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Washed out baits, changing the rods locations every 24 hours trying to find where they want to be feeding (a much harder task with no weed present)

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were actually better than I expected. The fridge and freezer were a lot bigger than I was expecting which was a bonus. The toilet and shower were fine.

Were you happy with them?

very happy

General Comments:

It is very much an 'English Style' lake, It's not your general overly stocked French water full of hungry pigs so you really need to work at your angling as opposed to just 'chucking and chancing'. It is a gorgeous place and Medhi is a true gent, very knowledgeable so do listen to his advice.

Details of your catches:

Approx 35 fish, tricky water many grass carp to 29lb 5 commons from 18 lb - 35lb also 6 mirrors from 30 - 58 .8 also a 60 lb sturgeon

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Accurate baiting Medhis party blend worked as did cell boillies sometimes tipped with fake corn

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes excellent

Were you happy with them?

Yes really happy not one thing you could find fault in the lake was awesome Medhi was really helpfull and a great guy (he needs to work on his melons lol) we have already booked to go to his other lake in November this year

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes definately
