General Comments:

Lake not up to much ruined our trip.
Sebastian (owner) told us on arrival we could not move swims from north to south side. After only one night anglers from the south had moved to the north on seeing fish, quite literally "beating us to it"
Unfortunately after 3 days of no action as fish were in the corners and side margins (where we were going to move too but couldnt as stated above) we had a word with a lake employee who apologies for the lack of action but it would now be too tight to move in between pegs as it was only a single swim.
On hearing this we felt it was abit unfair due to anglers moving from south to north side.
So we packed up and left spending the remain 3 nights on a public water having some great fishing with 25 fish between us up to 49lb.

Details of your catches:

Only two fish caught, 34lb mirror, and 41lb mirror. Both fish were caught from peg 9.
6 bream to 9lb mainly to CC Moore Live System.

The fish seemed to be at the left hand side of the lake (shower end). Three days of frost may have kept the fish in the deeper water. Fishing was hard, all manner of tatics were tried to no avail. That’s fishing.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The smaller fish fell to royal marine bottom bait from Baitworks over a bed of particle.
The larger fish fell to CC Moore Live system over bed of boliles / hemp.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, been here once before.

Showers were clean tidy, as was the toilet. Could possibly do with one more though.

Plenty of freezer / fridge space for bait / food.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, knew what to expect.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, it’s big water, but worth the challenge.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes I always use Angling Lines, great service and always happy to help.

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.

Details of your catches:

Myself I caught 7 carp smallest being 22lb and the biggest at 57lb 8.
5 losses and 1 Big Sturgeon at 150lb+.
My mate caught 3 carp smallest being 21lb and biggest was 48lb and he lost 4.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bottom Baits.

Yes Angling Lines are a fantastic service to use if you’re looking for a fishing trip to France.
