Details of your catches:

Over sixty fish 2 fish over thirty the rest mid to upper twenties. Plenty of roach and Rudd on the float rod for my youngest son. Some of the roach where nearly 2 lb !!!

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Most fish from far bank via bait boat. Fished early to mid day and then late afternoon to dusk. Used mainline cell 18mm snowman stile. Large hooks size 4 - 6 with crushed barbs (they don't move about in the mouth as much as barbless ie no mouth damage. Safest rig set up helicopter style).

Very lively fish on the bank so a good unhooking mat / cradle is a must and two landing nets.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The lake has easy access and comfortable places to pith up your bivvy. I was using a bait boat so set up at the end of the tree lined bank just along from the lake side cabin.

Toilet / shower block clean and tidy with everything you would expect. The pool was a god send as most of the days that we stayed the temperature was in the thirtys. Loved by all the family. This was clean and ideal to cool of once it got to hot fish

I Stayed in the cottage and it's classic French shabby chic and gorgeous, everything you need is there but no English TV, a good way to get away from the TV soaps. The pictures on the site just don't do it justice.

General Comments:

The farm family where very welcoming and let you get on with your stay. No daily check up just a chilled and relaxed atmosphere . The hole family had a great time and I would highly recommend this venue to any budding fishermen, there's no monsters but it's a lot of fun.

Details of your catches:

1 Angler fished, days only for five days.
21 Fish up to 25lb. 19 over 20lb including three commons.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

PVA Bags for single fish but heavy baiting brings multiples.
Boilies produced as balanced or snow man.

Were the facilities what you expected?

The lodge is right on the lake and we fished from that swim everyday as it was a family holiday. It is basic but perfect.
The cottage is large, the rooms are basic but comfortable. Suggest bringing your own bed linen and duvets and you must bring your own towels.

Were you happy with them?

OK.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes - for the fishing which is excellent

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Angling Lines service has always been exceptional.

General Comments:

The cottage needs a good clean and the cutlery, crockery, utensils, bedding all need replacing.

Details of your catches:

There was two of us fishing during the days only. We caught 93 fish for the 6 days and the biggest 31lb but lots of twenties and only a handful under 15lb.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We fished the dam wall the first day then the top end of the lake fishing over the the far bank. All baits caught but we used mainly the rajah spice and CCmoores equinox

Were the facilities what you expected?

Gite was lovely. Clean and spacious and the pool was great.

General Comments:

Overall the holiday was all we wanted and the fishing was prefect

Details of your catches:

Another manic weeks fishing at Vincon. Only fished days and landed 72 carp ranging from 14LB to 28LB. Plus 4 tench and 1 rudd.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Any bait that is edible will catch at Vincon. This is the only venue in France that I just use a method feeder. Keep the bait going in to the same spot and the fish will come. Be aware though that this is not a water for big fish, more a case of big total weight.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes, my wife and I always stay in the cottage which is lovely accommodation. This was our 4th visit to Vincon.

Were you happy with them?

Yes, absolutely.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes, if they wanted a relaxing weeks fishing with plenty of fish, but not if they were after 30's or 40's.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes, I always book 4 weeks fishing through you every year and always find you most helpfull.

General Comments:

Lovely venue and lovely owners. I have again advised Alice that the lake desperately needs netting to get rid of a lot of the small carp and the huge amount of silver fish (including some beautiful looking rudd) Perhaps then the carp will start to gain weight.
