Brilliant holiday, great fishing, great host. We will return.

Details of your catches:

If you put a fox in the henhouse, he will have chicken for dinner every night : - ) I was there, the lake was there but no one else was there, the lake to myself again : - ) The previous weeks were hot to 37 degrees but on my arrival temps dropped 10 degrees and rain was falling at times on most days. Every day was overcast and this triggered a reaction in the fish. I baited up and had immediate results : - ) I took in total 49 carp and one tench. 3 X 50's, 4 x 40's, 17 x 30's, 21 x 20's and four doubles. 1 five pound tench. A trickle of mirrors and commons were falling to me from the start. However, the Grass Carp were in full swing from first day but monday and tuesday I had in total 21 fish, mostly Grass Carp. I took a 50 and half grass carp, a 49 grass carp and a 43 grass Carp during those two days. However, in the latter part of the week the big mirrors started to feed. Friday I took a 44 and half (fully scaled) at about 6pm, at midnight I took a 52 and about 1am I took a 55 and half from the same spot. I took three more fish at hourly intervals to the same spot. I started catching at 4am Sunday with a 35 and half mirror and finished on Saturday 8am also with a 35 and half mirror. It was common for me to have two or three runs at one time, often having consecutive runs, letting one fish go and the next run occurred. I had to operate professionally from the start. Previous three trips this year saw me develop strategies to ease catching and restrict fish snagging other lines. Hook a fish then lift the other rods off rod rests and have the reels fit under the front buzz bars, with rods angling down into the water keeping lines safe on bottom. Only one of the 49 carp managed to foul one line. It was amazing to watch the catch number rise and my right arm ache : - ) : - ) : - )

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

I thought my best tactic was to fish in JULY, a month people seem to avoid and twice I found I had the lake completely to myself for regular prices, that was priceless. I fished when it was hot and had 14 fish WITH TWO 40'S and when weather reduced in temp (TWO WEEKS LATER) catch rate was through the roof : - ) To me that was a win win situation : - )

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes the Cabin has all I needed, fridge, freezer, toilet and shower.

Were you happy with them?

Yes

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I have done so, you cannot beat this lake for numbers of fish, big fish and the absolute beauty of the lake. To the back of chien and birches is an unspoilt meadow where four horses run free. During this trip I could see huge flapping wings and got my binoculars out to watch a massive bird of prey trying to subdue a large Rabbit. It was struggling so much the bird flapped to get a better grip. After some time the rabbit got away. If its not that its the Catfish chasing and taking ducks, or a vast array of wildlife : - )

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Of course its absolutely Carp Fishing Heaven : - )

Mehdi Daho is always very helpful and comes out to take photos, he is ready to provide bulk loads of particle cooked, he knows the lake intensely and can help you maximize your results. He remembers fish catches and what fish came from where, he advises and demonstrates casting tips, features and has personally helped me to get parts for my car while I fished. Amazing guy : - )
