General Comments:

Although we had horrendous rain and only three fish were caught (heavy run off from the field behind the lake turned the water chocolate brown) I would love to return in the summer because the lake and surrounds were picturesque and  judging by pictures of previous fish there are some specimens to be caught! Fabien and Mrs Rondeau were excellent hosts, helpful, friendly and genuinely concerned about our wellbeing and comfort.

I had 14 carp to 43 pounds. 7 over 30 pounds, all in excellent condition
