Details of your catches:

15 Fish caught through the week with a few lost. 1x 60 (66lb The Long Common) 2x 50s (53.10 Mirror & 58.10 Mirror) 4x 40s (47.5 Mirror, 46.5 Mirror, 45.7 Mirror, 43.2lb Common) 1x 30 Grassy 6x 20s (2 Mirrors & 5 Grassys) 1x Double Common Peg 1 - 4 Fish Peg 2 - 2 Fish Peg 4 - 5 Fish Peg 5 - 4 Fish

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

All anglers fished similar tactics with all of the bites coming from the far margin or side margin in the end swims. Pop ups accounted for most of the bites with pop up corn fished over Mehdi's parti blend dropped from the boat.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Facilities were more than expected for a weeks holiday, massive freezer for all baits, decent fridge to keep all food in for the week. Shower was excellent. 4g signal was more than ample in all of the swims.

Were you happy with them?

Really happy with them.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

I would definitely recommend to a friend, and will be visiting again in the near future.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Angling Lines were great with all the fussing around covid. Mehdi was great in sorting out the covid tests in a local pharmacy for us which took a big worry out the end of the trip.

General Comments:

After hearing the lake had done 42 fish the 2 weeks before, and 46 in the week prior to us arriving, I think we had an expectation that the fish would be on the feed and we would be filling our boots in regards to bites. The lake did seem like it started off slowly for the week with only a double and a grassy coming out within the first 36 hours. The bulk of the fish seemed to come out between monday-wednesday with the lake basically shutting down with only the one bite after Wednesday. After 2 really good weeks of angling with anglers returning i think this was a fairly good week given the weather was on the warmer side of what you would expect for late September. Through the week we went through approx. 60kg of Mainline Cell & 100kg of Mehdi's own parti-blend. Poisson Chat were not a problem for any of us during the week, i wrapped bottom baits and popups to start but no damage to any of the baits which hadn't been wrapped. One thing to note - a couple of times we had fairly sensitive bites with the alarms only registering single or a couple of beeps but the fish had made significant movements in the lake (that was with fishing fairly tight lines) - margins are super deep in all swims so drop off/captive backleads would for sure be making their way with me on a return trip.

Details of your catches:

The weather was perfect to begin the first three days was warm, following this the temperatures raised and the fish switched off. They pushed the fish up into the top sides of peg 5.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Particle (Medhi provides) boillie and critical balanced single baits. Medhi provided the boillies and wafters. They worked for us apart from the hot weather moving the fish to deeper water. Watch for showing fish and you could cast and boat to them. Fish were caught quite quickly at times with bait going in and ten minutes later runs occuring

Were the facilities what you expected?

Excellent as always with the facilities

Were you happy with them?

Brilliant as always

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes definitely

General Comments:

No real issues with Poison Chat this week, Medhi has worked hard over the past two years every week catching the removing the chat. Only a few few balls observed. We didn’t have much issues. We maybe had two or three bottom baits attacked. If you then wrap them you will not have any further issues

Details of your catches:

42 fish banked this week in total. Luke 17 fish, best going 55.1 (mirror) James 25 fish, best fish 67.7 (long common) In total we caught 1x 60+ 10 x 50s with 2 fish going 59+, 17 x 40’s, 13 x 30’s and 1 15lb wild looking common.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Baited heavily from the off, with boilies, hemp, pellet & parti-blend, majority of fish came from the far margin, with simple blow back & combi rigs doing the business, in total we had 3 double takes, crazy fishing at times. Nearly 1800lbs worth of carp in 1 week, what a lake !!!

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes they were exactly what we needed for a week stay.

Were you happy with them?

Yes 100% would definitely return to the venue.

Would you recommend the venue to a friend?

Yes this was my second visit and a third is definitely on the cards.

Would you recommend the services to a friend?

Yes perfect, the online portal is great and the service during these tricky times for traveling has been brilliant.

General Comments:

Brilliant weeks fishing with numerous p.bs broken, poisson chat not a problem we came prepared but didn’t need in the end. Mehdi is a top bloke with a top lake, look forward to seeing him again.

Details of your catches:

30 carp in total between 3 anglers. The long common TWICE @ 67lb 12oz, 7 x 50s, 12 x 40s & 8 x 30s. Total average 44lb 6oz. A number of PB's broken.

Your best tactics/bait/rigs:

Heavy baiting with hemp, parti blend and boilies, the more we put in the quicker we was getting the bites. Most fish came during the day with only 4 caught at night. The fish was caught on various baits, DSTR CCO, Tails Up, Proper Carp Baits, CC Moore and fake corn. We did have a 3 chat and 3 bream. No need to wrap baits during the days as the bite was quick but at night they needed wrapping.

Were the facilities what you expected?

Yes

Were you happy with them?

Yes, everything you need when fishing.

100% We will definitely be coming back to this venue.
