Great place, best fighting fish ever! Friendly hosts, lots of flies, lots of fish, lots of beer, wine, vodka, port... hangovers. Listen out for wild boar but don't stroke them. Enjoy yourself.

High doubles to mid twenties. 1400lb in total.

As expected.

Were you happy with them?

So, so. Lakeside lodge bedding & furniture damp, could smell & feel dampness at night. Cooking/storage facilities fine. ********** NOTE from Angling Lines. These comments relate to the lakeside lodge & not the cottage. Because the lodge is so close to the lake (3 metres) it's inevitable that in rainy damp conditions that there will be a damp feeling about the place. If it's good weather it'll never be a problem. If you're looking to avoid this completely always book the cottage (5 mins from the lake) not the lakeside lodge ***********

General Comments:

Beautiful venue, friendly owners. If not fishing & not used to camping have the cottage rather than the lodge. The lodge is suitable for fishermen who sleep in tents by the lake & not for the families who join them.

Ashley (age 11): biggest fish 25lb 12oz common. Lewis (age 13): biggest fish 20lb 2oz mirror. Gary: biggest 29lb 14oz mirror. Caroline: biggest 27lb 10oz mirror.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tiger nuts & Tiger Nut boilies. Tutti Frutti seemed to work well after dark.

Thank you Bouchot family for a wonderful stay at Vincons. We had a wonderful week. Lots of marvellous fish, including over 8 fish over the 20lb mark. Not very good weather, there was a thunderstorm on the first day. The dogs were really nice. We were treated very well by the Bouchot family.
