General Comments:

Food was excellent, large portions every day.

Details of your catches:

Great week at Villefond, 24 fish in total for the group.
2 x 40lb+, 7 x 30lb+ and the rest 20lb+, typically in the high 20s.
Lots of nice commons and a few very nice looking linear

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Watch the lake and feed to showing fish. Maize was the winner both fake and natural. Great advice from Mark on rigs, which really helped hook those cautious fish. Weather was hot which looked against us, but the catch report shows otherwise.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, this is advertised as a bivvy lake with no power, which is what it is. The hosts however go out of their way to ensure you have everything charged and the shower and toilet facilities were clean and more than acceptable.

Were you happy with them?

Totally happy, the only feedback would be to the peg with the cabin on it, and that is, it gets in the way. Would be an easier swim with either longer pontoon or cabin moved back.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, the lake is beautiful and peaceful. The fish are gorgeous and the hosts are very accommodating!

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, hosts could not do enough to help! The food package is well worth the money and very tasty and I cannot state enough how helpful and accommodating the hosts are!

Great carp water, you catch but it’s not a runs water, you have to work to catch the fish. Once they’re feeding just small adjustments to the rigs. Will land you fish!
