Unfortunatly my father was taken seriously ill while we were there. Without Leslie i don't think he would be with us now. Giles was fantastic, and got up early to take me to hospital so we could airlift him home. They are such wonderful people and were so good to us. I cannot praise them enough. We are definitely going back. They have become part of the family. The venue itself is beautiful, we refer to it as "A little peice of heaven" Bridget and the rest of the team at Angling Lines were brilliant. Thank you all

giles and leslie are great hosts really nice people
the lakes are stunning and there are some very very big fish

Details of your catches:

Commons of 14lb, 12lb. Mirror 44.4lb (pb). One big fish lost to a hook pull, one missed run.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

best tactics were to fish to the lillies or on the patrol routes between the lilly beds. All runs were on either 16mm hallibut pellet or maize. Weather was cold at night with frosts every morning. Temperuture usually 3 -4c at 8am. This slowed sport down. Not easy fishing, you have to work at it but very rewarding.

Lovely venue. Lesley very helpful (Gilles was away). Very long drive from Calais with the kids. Also the bikes on site are not worth bothering with as they are all in a poor state of repair. Generally very good holiday. Chuffed to bits with the 40 and will be back in 08.
