Details of your catches:

Well over 150 carp! Biggest 31lb (common), plenty over 20lb

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

We reckon you could catch on anything here when the conditions are right. We didn't use a lot of bait - most fish took on PVA bag or PVA stringer. Lots of fish caught in the margins.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes we stopped in the cottage which was great. We were very lucky because the lakeside lodge was empty on our week & the owners kindly let us use that too.

Were you happy with them?

Very happy

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes totally. The owneres are very friendly

This is a fantastic venue for non-stop action situated in a lovelly rural part of France - it feels very "French"

Details of your catches:

1x 30lb, 20x twenties, 27x doubles - 49 fish in total and lost 12. Biggest was a 30 common ( first fish ) which isn't too bad because we only fished days. Total weight was 944 pound which averages at 19.26, it was far better than I had expected in av weight.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Maize and Halibut pellets, Quest Raja Spice boilies and Quest Special Crab boilies

Hi, to the team at angling lines, can i start my email by thanking you all once again for a fantastic trip, especially Bridget for her advice.

It was a long drive to vincons but worth the effort, we found the Bouchet family very helpfull and friendly during the course of the week.

It was my first french trip with my boys aged 11, 13 and 16 and also my die hard lovely fiance who always comes on our trips and normally shows me up!
we would like to book again next summer, could you please email me with vacancies.

We would like to say thank you for a wonderful trip .... smashing loads of pb's.



A couple of notes of caution for following anglers:

be careful on the left bank from the gite, it is deep there but holds loads of underwater tree snags that cost you fish, it was better to walk the fish along the bank to a clearer spot for netting.

Watch the black and white dog "atu" he bites the carp on the bank as you are sorting the weigh sling out! and jumps on the beds, and the brown and white dog pisses all over your gear marking his territory!!! If you wade over to the far bank opposite the gite along the fence by the boar, watch out for a 6 foot grey snake.



talk to you all soon

Lovely relaxing week. Weather was a bit chagable, but the kids enjoyed the pool everyday. Good food. The owner spoke good English. Limited children's menu. Fishing was good.
