Angling Lines have been excellent, as we had a few alterations near to our departure date but all was taken care of and trip went without a hitch.

General Comments:

A good trip to a new lake, went very smoothly and would not hesitate to use AL again.

Details of your catches:

Blanked unfortunately. The fish just weren’t at it. No shows. Hadn’t woken up from winter and just weren’t interested. In over 30 years of carp fishing I haven’t been beaten up so much by a lake, but Villefond bruised me !

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

I tried everything. Spent some time with Mark and tinkered with things. Was trying things that nobody else probably has and just couldn’t get a proper pick up let alone a run. Tried everything from zig to wafter to critically balanced to naturals to fake to boilie. That’s fishing !

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, everything that you need. Clean and hot water.
Debbie’s food is great 👍 best let your belt out a couple of notches when you get home ! Puddings were great too. Great swims and well maintained.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes and I will be returning next year as I won’t let this lake beat me up that much without a rematch !

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes always do
