General Comments:

Beautiful lake in stunning location will definitely return

Details of your catches:

130 carp, 7 separate fish over 30 with the majority between 20 and 28lb. Biggest 35.8 common and 36.2 common. Also had some smaller sub 10lb carp and huge Rudd and roach in the float gear

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Best catches came from open water using fish meal boilies, we were concerned as we took no bait boats but this proved not to be necessary. The fish crashing in the far margin are not necessarily the ones feeding! Don't ignore the close in margins!!

Were the facilities what you expected?

Outstanding, we've been to plenty over the years and are regular travellers to France, these were the best we have stayed at.

Were you happy with them?

The family were extremely pleasant, the swimming pool was an essential in the 40 degree heat - and the Carp are in fantastic condition and larger than anticipated. Excellent week can't recommend enough.

Great holiday

Details of your catches:

I carp fisherman - caught 14 carp to 23 lbs, lost 2 plus 2 tench and 2 roach.
3 fisherman caught lots of roach and small carp

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

The lake is a fantastic venue , large enough to make the fishing interesting and the carp roll and crash out making it very clear where they are located. However, you do need a bait boat and I didnt have one with me - hence the low catch rate ! It was hugely frustrating to see so many showing in the very area I couldn't reach ! The fish i did intercept were mainly caught on the method

Were the facilities what you expected?

We stayed in the gite and the family were very happy with the property. The swimming pool in particular was well used and very clean

Were you happy with them?

Very happy - great location

Vincons is a great venue and the owner Alice is very friendly and helpful - but if you are considering a booking make sure you take a bait boat . We had a great family holiday and some good fishing so thanks to both Angling Lines and Alice.
