Details of your catches:

We all fished the 2 double swims in the main body of water. We did try some stalking in the smaller part of the lake but nothing from this location. 15 fish caught in total, 1 person blanked. 5 x teens. 5 x 20s. 4 x 30s, 1 x 40 plus 2 tench (8 fish lost in snags)

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

None really. Soon as we arrived Bruno said the fish were preparing to spawn, the week was going to be hard. And it was! You have to fish the margins. Open water and near margins do NOT produce any bites, you WILL need a bait boat to catch fish.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, mostly good

Were you happy with them?

2 issues: the toilet seat was missing from the loo and the first shower that was taken flooded the toilet block, we had to spend 2 hours mopping the floor, could have done without this. When mentioned to Bruno he is aware and waiting the plumber to unblock the drains. A heads up would have been helpful.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

So a few positives and negatives here.

Positives:
1: The lake is very nice, well maintained and pleasant place to be
2: Bruno is a great guy, happy to help you out and leave to you wish. depending on your preference.

Negative's:
1: The margin (where you have to fish) are completely riddled with snags. most of these can be seen from the waters edge but there are plenty you can not see.
2: The ducks, well, what can I say.. firstly they wipe out your rod pod every few hours while they fight and chase each other for about 20 hours per day, every day. one of the pod wipe outs broke a rod tip. Secondly. EVERY time the bait boat goes out 20 or 30 ducks follow it and then dive on your bait, within 2 minutes of the bait dropping the ducks have picked up your hook bait and moved it around or taken your boilie off the hair. Fishing this week was hard enough but this made it near impossible.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, so far so good. I am new to Angling Lines and service has been good so far

General Comments:

The toilet is a 1.8 mile round trip from the furthest swim. A bike is provided (thank god) but make sure you think ahead or you might get caught short :) Would i visit again? the answer would be no due to the ducks and snags. if these problem were gone I would for sure. These were the thoughts from all 4 of us.

*Owner note* Thank you for your feedback and apologies again for the issue with the shower and toilet - both are now fixed. Regarding the ducks, we take your feedback onboard and will manage the amount on the lake. We will also try to clear again the margin as best we can.

Details of your catches:

A slow week but with 7 fish between the two of us, with the smallest being 27lb 4oz. But the highlight of the 7 fish was at 6am on the Saturday morning we were due to leave. The big common decided to make and appearance weighing in at 59lb 8oz, well worth the wait.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Bait little and often increasing the baiting as the frequency of the bites increases. Fish to the far margins for the best results.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The facilities were excellent, plenty of hot water in the shower and lovely and clean. Plenty of power points for charging batteries etc in the chalet too.

Were you happy with them?

We were more than happy with the facilities.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Seigneurie is a well kept and managed lake with excellent facilities and a magnificent head of hard fighting fish. Bruno, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and is regularly on hand to offer advice. The lake is also not far from the local village which has plenty of supermarkets and a tackle shop.
