General Comments:

I was a little concerned before I went that the Lodge accomodation would not be suitable as I was taking my family. However, I needn't have been as although basic, it was clean, well kept and in very good condition.
The Bouchot family were very welcoming and we enjoyed the company of their dog A'Tou for most of the week.
Although not a big fish venue the fishing was excellent and quite frantic at times with runs coming steadily throughout the day (we did not fish nights).
Thank you Bridget for your help and advice. It was exactly like what you said it was going to be!
I would recommend this venue to any family wanting plenty of action whilst enjoying the comforts of lakeside accomodation and a swimming pool.

Details of your catches:

Danny - didn't really fish at night and had 69 fish..... 25 x 20lb'ers to 28.10lb and the others all between 16lb - 18lb. Peter - only really fished mornings and evenings and had 14 fish 7 over 20lbs and 1 x 33lb commmon.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Tigernuts!! These produced the quickest takes. I got fish from single hookbaits, PVA bags, fishing over 10kg of spod mix. All produced fish.

General Comments:

Fishing - The fish moved around alot! They wouldn't hang around for more than a few hours. If you can get to the middle of the lake then you could pick up fish more consistantly. Dont be affraid to move around the lake with a few rods and PVA bags when the fishing gets slow.
Cottage - very happy. The walk to the lake was ok, but if you want to be close to the lake, go with the lodge.
