General Comments:

Great venue to take the family and great fishing too. Looking forward to our week in 2018.

Details of your catches:

Total fish 88, with the biggest being 46lb 6oz to Rob. Roland with 41 fish to 37lb and myself having 31 fish to 35lb. Exceptional weeks fishing

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishing to the margins with long hooklinks and 2x 20mm hard hookbaits over 10 to 20 baits. Constant baiting every 30min with 20 baits scattered around area kept fish there with it being hard to keep 1 rod in water at times. Poisson chats are present but hard hookbait did help keep them at bay with about 15 coming to the carp rods

General Comments:

Fantastic relaxing week

Details of your catches:

We caught approximately 19 fish. Ranging in weight from 28 - 41 pounds. The fish were spawning. Plus the weather was erratic. It went from 31C on arrival to 12C when we left.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Listen to Gilles. Used 18 mm boilies. Fished on D rigs.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were spectacular. The house was comfortable and well looked after. The tackle was of good quality. Coming from America I worried but did not want to take all the tackle with me. The set-up offered by the venue was new and working wonderfully.

Were you happy with them?

We were very pleased with the accommodations. Our host were helpful and came by to check on us when the weather changed. The tackle hire was very important to me. I was traveling over 4000 miles (Miami, Florida) and was thrilled to see that the tackle looked new! Everything was in great condition.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would recommend this venue to everyone! We are booking to go back already next year.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Angling Lines was helpful seeing as we were coming from the USA. They had to make adjustments to the billing but in the end it all worked out. Only thing I would change is the returning of deposit method. If they would put a hold on my credit card until the venue tells them it would be easier than having to pay a fee for a bank transfer.

General Comments:

Giles and Sharon are wonderful and attentive hosts. We came from Florida, USA and they answered all our questions before we arrived. Once there they came by to check on us to make sure all was well due to the drastic change in weather.
