Report from my boyfriend:
Fished on and off most days with only one night. We were lucky enough to have the whole lake to ourselves, so I experimented the first few days and I caught from most areas of the lake. However, the most productive swim was fishing from the sluice on the dam and fishing to the far margin (off willow near white gate), centre of the lake (caught the biggest fish from here) and dam wall (a rod length out, but 'chody'). Tried particles with some success but boilies were best.
Also, had 5 fish off the surface stalking along the far margin, and off the willow by the lodge. So remember some dog biscuits!
We stayed in the gite which was perfect, and we thoroughly recommend the gite, lake, pool and whole experience to anyone who enjoys relaxing surroundings and great fishing. The Bouchot family were friendly and helpful, and left us in piece to enjoy a great holiday!
Note: The freezer has space for ~ 8kgs of boilies

Details of your catches:

35 fish, ranging from 9lb to 27 lb. Plenty of action.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

PVA bags with yellow pop ups
