Low water Level - Part 2, 10th Jul

With the lake reserved for works this week, I had the opportunity to carry out an experiment this weekend.

I decided to try and replicate a normal change over day, so invited a couple of friends to come and help me. I wanted to do a single 24 hour overnight session starting at 4pm (normal arrival time for Lillybelle) but I asked my friends to give me complete control over baiting and placement of rigs. Thankfully they both agreed.

After 18 hours of fishing and a completely sleepless night, we finished after at 10am managing 11 fish to 30lb+ with all 3 of us loosing a fish each on top. I think that the lack of rain and low water level is making the fishing a bit more sporadic, but far from impossible. The drop in temperature really helped us and we enjoyed a terrific little session.

Low Water Level, 9th Jul

It has been a very sunny and dry 2017 here in France and Lillybelle's water level has suffered as a consequence. We have had a couple of slower than expected weeks recently (along with 30+ deg weather!) and received concerns from a group reference the water level. With this in mind we wanted to make all future guests aware of the situation.

The lake when completely full has an area of 5.5 acres to around 6ft at its deepest, currently we think that around 4.5 acres to 4.5 feet deep are fishable. If you are due on the lake and have any concerns reference this, please contact us.

In regard to the fishing see low water level part 2. Attached are some lake shots from this weekend so you can see the levels for yourselves.
