Details of your catches:

30 + fish.
1 x 58lb
2 x 40's
multiple 20's & 30's

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Small beds of bait, fishing accurately at range, small yellow popups accounted for most of the runs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, shower and toilets were fine. Could do with more than 1 x toilet for the lake though...

Were you happy with them?

Yes, warm showers is always a bonus. Good fridge, freezer and charging facilities

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, but with caution. It has become very 'natural' / overgrown particularly in the margins, with many overgrown trees, underwater snags, sharp bars etc. Which is not the best for fish safety. There were multiple lines / leads / rigs in the snags around peg 6 and 11. People will just fish right up to the snags and lose fish, which is bad all round. Evident from the amount of rigs found.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes for Angling lines, with caution for Lapinet.

General Comments:

A good week made tougher by the weather. The fish seem to hold up in the margins which are very very tough to fish, and anglers were regularly losing fish in the snags (we spoke to other anglers) which is bad for everyone (fish included) It's a great venue but can't help but feel it could be made a safer venue for the fish.

General Comments:

Went to lepinet north due to my first choice being cancelled. I’ve fished south but first time on north side.
It’s a longer range to find the head of fish but still a Great Lake either side, action was plenty but for me I only managed up to 36lb. But on the north side my week a 57, 48, couple 40s came out. Plus the big sturgeon 3 times.
But for me in particular this week was one of my best on a bank in France meeting great people. 2 lads Mark & Joe from Liverpool and farther and son from Carlisle great company all got on well. It was a great week. Cheers boys!

Details of your catches:

Very slow week sadly. Swim 8 doubled up. Mate had 2 29lb + 36lb within 6 hours then nothing all week after. I blanked until Weds and ended on 4 mirrors to 32lb and a grassie 32lb. Everyone struggled in middle lake swims on both sides North and South. Fish seemed as usual to be at either end of the lake.

Conditions were perfect as well so it’s odd. Been a few times and this is the slowest trip. Nice lake, very nice owners/bailiff. Probably still go back

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

18mm Wafters worked but watch out for the odd big bream. Sit on the spots and wait for it to happen rather than panic and swift spots

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes always good usual need a second toilet though and keep the loo roll topped up… this is regular feedback but still the same. Everything else is great

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes but swim choice is vital like most lakes to be fair

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes 100%
