Poisson chat are present but we overcome this by using meshed hookbaits and pop'up. By doing this, we all had a successful week. Mehdi was great. On hand for any problem and just great for a chat.

Mehdi is absolutely superb in his passion for carp fishing,fish care, and ensuring you have a good time and catch. We had without doubt our best holiday so far! I think Mehdi is finishing the chalet this week and once thats completed Old Oaks will be a carp anglers paradise. The fish all fought incredibly hard and were in good condition - we will be back for the lake record and a grass carp! On our return we hope to see a few beers in the fridge Mehdi, seeing as we helped carry it in there for you!!!!
