General Comments:

Medhi is a great guy and the venue is fantastic with fish of a life time swimimg in Old Oaks, however although Medhi has worked hard to remove 400 plus kilo of possion Chat that bearly touches how many are in it. The weather was unbelievably hot from weds hitting 37-40c everyday. All the fish were caught Sunday to Tuesday. The water temp reached 38 degrees C. The only thing feeding were the chat!! Damn things love hot temp. Any bait be it particle, boilies, sweetcorn was attacked like piranha shoals, even plastic bait had the hair chewed of three times. Take plenty of mesh or shrink tube for your baits, you will only be fishing singles as anything you put in will be gone in 5 min. *Angling Lines note* We are really sorry to hear of your issues this week, whilst we have noticed a massive decline in the numbers of poisson chat, it would appear the weather was really working against you this week. We know that France reached record breaking temperatures which has really affected the fishing all over the country. Thank you for your feedback.

Details of your catches:

10 carp, x3 50lb, x3 40lb, x2 30lb x2 teens. Chat and bream

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Only options were pop ups or plastic baits, anything on the bottom was destroyed by chats within minutes, even pop ups were attached. Anything they couldn’t eat was knocked about until tangled around debris.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Perfect, all you need for drive and survive.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, no complaints.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Nice venue with top quality fish if you can get to them. So yes on that basis but would warn them regarding the chats and ensure they are comfortable wrapping baits, plastic or pop ups.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, used many times and always hassle free.

Medhi top bloke as per other comments, we’ve fished Laroussi twice previously so knew facilities were similar and perfect for what we needed. Chats are a problem even with management by Medhi but guess they are more active than ever at this time of year. It was very swimmy when we went, all fish with exception of 1 pasty came from swim 1, even pasty was caught fishing across towards 1. Nothing elsewhere, but hey that’s fishing.

Details of your catches:

53lb 8oz mirror 40lb common 39lb mirror 36lb mirror x2 18lb common 20lb and 30lb grass carp Few Poisson chat

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Pop ups with rubber toppers wrapped to stop Poisson Chat eating boilies. Far margin under anything overhanging. Small amount of bait over every spot every hour to keep bait in the water before small fish clear you out. Cell and partimix

Were the facilities what you expected?

Everything needed was there. Note. Only 3 toilet rolls supplied for 5 people for a week so will need to take your own

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Few snags in the water and no boat available which can be frustrating as 3 decent fish were lost. Removed two trees from water whilst there to untether a carp in front of swim 1
