Details of your catches:

A great weeks fishing with 43 fish including 3 PB’s.
We had one of 52lb, 5 other 40+, 12 of 30+, 17 of 20+ and 8 doubles.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Fishing to far margins, once fish found put plenty of bait to keep them there. All rigs worked with bottom baits the most effective. Beware of the ducks and swans who all like to follow the bait boats and then dive onto the released bait.

Were the facilities what you expected?

While the facilities are basic they were clean and we had all the essentials needed.
We found Matthieu very willing to help whenever we needed anything bait was always supplied very quickly.

Were you happy with them?

Yes as expected

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes we had a great weeks fishing with plenty on space to spread out across the lake.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes we have used Angling Lines for many years and the service is always first class

General Comments:

A very good lake in the middle of rural France, while the drive is quite long it is very straight forward.

Details of your catches:

Amazing week! We all caught big carp to 53lb, including X7 40s and Multiple 30s. Lots of lovely looking kois, linears, ghostys, commons, mirrors grassies. The sturgeon must have been hiding.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Snowman rigs. Small pop ups over particle.

General Comments:

Lovely week, had a great time overall. Bailiff was friendly but took his time to bring more bait to us.

Details of your catches:

Over 30 carp caught with 6 over 40lbs with the biggest 46lb.  1 x Sturgeon.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Simple bottom bait rigs and rafters cast at showing fish. Only fished days until midnight to get some decent kip!

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were great, one of the beds was broken so had to use the sofa bed in lounge area but as there were two of us that was not an issue.  Would have been if more anglers on the trip.
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback, we will discuss the broken bed with the owner and ensure it is fixed.

Were you happy with them?

Kitchen great for what is needed, and the fridge is a god send to avoid loads of trips to the supermarket.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

100% - perfect quiet location with great fishing and close to supermarkets and fishing shop if you need anything.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Angling Lines were brilliant throughout the whole experience, great comms around bookings and very helpful regarding any questions we had.

General Comments:

Ragon is well worth a trip and is in a beautiful part of France.  Be ready for the noise from Magny Cours race track which is just a few miles away but was only for a couple of the days we were there.  Enjoy emptying the long drop after a week too!
*Angling Lines note* Thank you for bringing the toilet emptying situation to our attention. This is now being taken care of by Matthieu, the bailiff.

Details of your catches:

43 fish in total.

Comprising of Mirror's, Commons, koi, ghost, grass and sturgeons

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Right of the spit. The is a bowl around 19 wraps out that drops to around 9 ft. There's also another spot at 28 1/4 wraps towards the northeast side of the lake. Spend abit of time leading around and you will find the same river bed that we did which carp clearly patrol all day. Also the right corner near the Dam walls drop to around 10 feet in please and was very productive all week. Be mindful of the weed. Best baits appeard to be yellow pop up's or white wafters. Don't be shy with the bait. The carp certainly prefer the more fruity flavours.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were ok but definitely in need of attention. Make sure you take your own cooking utensils and cutlery if you go as their supply is sparce. Also make sure you take toilet roll. We arrived after a 9 hour journey to no toilet roll with wasn't exactly ideal. The shower needs a revamp and is a very tight squeeze. I'm 6ft tall and weight 13 stone and really struggled to have a comfortable wash but made do. The toilet is just a bucket with a seat which was fine, but we wasn't overly pleased when the bailiff told us that we had to empty it.
