Rigs to Catch a Villefond Monster, 25th Mar

Over the last few years since I first stocked Lac Du Villefond I have been witness to a lot of changes at the lake not least how the fish have grown into absolute monsters in a relatively short space of time. As the carp have grown in size they have become accustomed to more and more anglers trying to pose for a photograph with them and as a consequence of this they have seen many rigs and become experts at spotting or ejecting carp angler’s rigs.

Gone are the days when I could pop down the lake after lunch with a PVA bag of shelf life baits, flick them out in front on me on a basic bottom bait rig with little thought of hook or presentation and land a few fish before dinner. Now as the fish have grown in size they have grown in cunning and in the following article I will try to show some of the rigs used to bank some of the real characters at Villefond.

First I’ll start by explaining the problem. Some weeks at our lake have proven very frustrating for anglers; some even having 15+ fish take the bait and give them absolute screaming takes before they strike only to have the bait come straight out of the carps mouths.

General comments;

My 3rd time fishing at Villefond and every time I have gone away well pleased. The lake is fantastic and very picturesque and the fish never fail to amaze me as they continue to go from strength. The average size of fish is enormous with very few fish under 30 lb, I don't know of many if any other lakes with such a high average size of fish.

Mark is putting the finishing touches to the new mobile home. It'll offer you the chance to take a non-fishing partner & know they'll be more than happy... or maybe you just want a bit more comfort for yourself. It offers;

* 1 double master bedroom, 1 smaller double and a double that can be converted from the sofa in the lounge

* gas cooker, fridge and full kitchen facilities

* no mains electric but solar panels are going in for lighting & there's also a generator on site

* the toilet & sink fully functional but you'll need to shower in the existing on-site shower block
