Details of your catches:

49 fish between 3 adults and 2 children. The kids showing us how it’s done with a 54lb common and mirror each.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Slip d rigs presenting a snowman over Nash Scopex Squid was the winner from the start with all rods reverting to this tactic to get best results. Fishing for a bite at a time worked best.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes second visit.

Were you happy with them?

Yes good balance of usability and comfort without being too refined that you couldn’t relax in. If anything the fridge could be a little bigger but there is the use of a much larger one at the farm 5 mins away.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Definitely. Although it’s a little further than some venues it’s worth the extra effort as the lake is in a lovely setting. We drove down avoiding tolls which took 7.5hours as we had the time and used tolls on the way back which took 5.5 hours. We were towing a trailer so stuck to around 65-70. Both ways were an easy and pleasant drive with good views and plenty of opportunities for stops if required. Definitely will be back as all the fish we caught were in very good order and put up good hard fights.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes used Angling Lines for years and their service is second to none. Always there to help before and during trips with any request never too much trouble. When travelling abroad you can have confidence that angling lines have got your back should you have any issues.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

3 rods left and 3 right of spit, most fish came from far margin just off weed bed.
Did catch from all areas of open water.
Started with pop ups and corn but caught too many grass carp.
Swapped to simple hair rig with Krill dumbbell seemed to do the trick, over a bed of pellet, Maize, Maize flake and a few boilies.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were great! Saved us from the rain! Everything we needed, clean and comfortable. Great to have a shower at the end of a rainy day at the bank.

Were you happy with them?

More than happy, the lake and facilities are beautiful and well maintained. The bailiff was on hand to help if needed to change gas in the fridge or come and fix things.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Would definitely recommend coming to this lake.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

2nd trip with Angling lines, trip made easy and when we contacted the team about our trip home they were more than helpful. We have already booked another trip with them.

General Comments:

Best venue we have used in our five trips to France. Had to pull the rods in on some nights, just to get some rest. If you want plenty of hard fighting fish, this is the venue.
