Details of your catches:

Fished the Lotus lake. Dave 1 carp 14lb, 3 coypu and a terrapin! John 3 carp under 20lb (2 from main lake). Found the fishing very hard this year. VERY hot with water temps of 28c! Air temp one day was 42c.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Baits were boilies or maize. All baits had to be very tight to lilly pads. Crayfish a problem this year. Fishmeal boilies had to be netted but crays still attacking them eventually.

General Comments:

A lot of the lotus lilly beds have been really cut back to increase amount of water fishable. I do not feel this has worked. All the carp seem to have retreated to the unfishable very far end. The amount of features to fish to has reduced and nothing was coming from open water. This is a hard water, my fish was a last night consolation. however the fish are there as last year i had carp to 44lb from main lake and saw carp caught to 48lb from Lotus lake.

Details of your catches:

1 common carp 19lb 2oz from Lotus Lake and two fish from main lake. 1 common carp 17lb 10oz and 1 grass carp 16lb10oz. Thanks to the guys on the main lake for letting me drop into the corner as nothing was showing on Lotus Lake.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Boilies or maize tight up against the lilies although small skimmer bream proved to be a nuisance this year.

General Comments:

Stayed at the Willow Cottage and fished the Lotus Lake. This is a stunning location with excellent accommodation and friendly hosts. Shame about the fishing though as this was the worst I have experienced in 6 years fishing in France. There was very little sign of fish and even though I fished 4 nights and tried most tactics I could not locate them. Would still like to return however as it is such a great place.

Details of your catches:

34 fish in total. 34.0 mirror, 2 x 30.0 commons, grass carp 2 x doubles, 4 x 20's and all rest doubles

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Boilies set in small traps, most fish after midnight.

A beautiful setting for the fishing and for the family. Nice pool, good house and no noise. Well worth the long drive.
