General Comments:

Villefond is a family run venue and it shows, the banks pegs are spotless the facilities are excellent and again spotless. We had evening meals only, good quality hot meals were delivered to the pegs our only complaint with these excellent meals was there was just too much! Mark, the owners son, is a dedicated angling technician, he has a great understanding of how this tricky water responds to the prevailing conditions and was happy to spend time with us to help us get a result. In addition to the excellent Carp we caught we had the privilege of seeing a true colossus. We witnessed fellow guest angler Mark catch a 65lb hulk, yes it was long and deep but the width of this creature just had to be seen to be believed. Massive credit to the skill and determination of Mark, on a difficult week, on a tricky water he topped an already impressive catch with this 65lb beauty.
