Details of your catches:

On my final day at Linstant I caught a 41lb carp on a plastic pop-up. It was a difficult weeks fishing with very little movement and not many clues to go on. Having a bait boat definitely saved the day, enabling me to accurately feed let and often. The weather was a even mixture of overcast and sunshine and was very warm all week.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Pop-up on a stiff rig, due to large aggressive crayfish. small amounts of pellet regularly (available from the owner). Tried various types of real pop-ups and boilie but they were all eaten by crayfish in a very short time.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were exactly as described and everything you need. Cabin for the non-fishing partner is very comfortable. The toilet is is away from the cabin and fishing pods.

Were you happy with them?

The facilities were exactly what was needed for a weeks fishing. The lake is amazing and well cared for by Fabien the owner, who was a top host. Will definitely be going back.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Recommend the venue for a lake exclusive. Big enough to challenge any fisherman but not too big to overwhelm.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Definitely recommend!

A difficult few days fishing with the warm hot air burst in the area seemed to make the fish have other things on their mind.

Fabien and family have produced a stunningly beautiful venue and the lakeside pods with power etc. are a great addition. I also took the optional cabin which is perfect for a comfortable nights sleep. Despite quite a few lumps teasing me in the margins, the fish really did have other things on their mind, however i've seen enough to make me want to return.

Details of your catches:

1 x40s 4x30s 4x20s.. After a good previous 2 weeks catches an increase in temp 10 degrees upto 28 degrees!!! caused the fish to switch off, so was a hard week.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

single 20mm bottom bait with a bright topper, over a bed of pellet, bollie and sweetcorn, produced the bites along with float fished bread produced a 27lber!! We followed the fish to the shallow end, fishing against far margin and the middle channel down the shallow end.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Fanatic, better than expected with everything you could wish for and more, great shower / toilet and kitchen area.

Were you happy with them?

Nothing was in need of repair or tired, basically couldn't of asked for a better location, beautiful lake and surroundings, could totally switch off.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Absolutely!!! Fabien was a wonderful host from beginning to end, was always available if needed.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Definitely

General Comments:

A wonderful peaceful setting with the potential only to get better and better. Fabien's vision of what he wants is spot on. A conservatively stocked lake with plenty of room for the carp to grow on. Despite catching the biggest known in the lake we were sure there a bigger in there!!!! These could all be seen from doing circuits around the lake.

Details of your catches:

We had 13 carp 13lb -36lb, One koi.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Pop ups over lake pellets and boilies fished on the far margin as far left as you can. Careful of the snags in the middle of the lake when reeling back in.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Better than expected

Were you happy with them?

Amazing, clean and tidy throughout and so easy to deal with. Fabien and his family were amazing hosts. Cannot thank them enough for their hospitality and kindness.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

110% yes

All fish were in amazing condition, not like a stocked lake in the UK. Fabien and his family are great hosts, you will not be disappointed if you book here. The worst part about this lake is leaving it! We could have stayed forever it’s so peaceful. Amazing wildlife around the lake too, the frogs are a nice wake up call.
