General Comments:

The trip was a terrific relaxing stress free break away for me and my son. I adapted easily to french driving... even though I didn't catch myself this time to see a 53lb immaculate mirror carp come out at the other swim was enough for me to go back ASAP as the lake holds massive immaculate carp. The venue is a credit to Medhi the owner who takes great care of the venue and is a thoroughly nice friendly, helpful chap. .

Another very enjoyable trip to Old Oaks. I arrived during the stormy weather and this helped the fishing with 5 takes in the first 30 hours, unfortunately two were lost which is gutting given the average size of fish in this lake. After that the weather and the fishing calmed down, with a quiet last couple of days. But to catch fish of this size in January made it a great session. Cant wait to get back there!

*Angling Lines note* Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately the English adaptors do get replaced but they keep going missing again. We have now edited the facilities description to advise anglers to bring their own. Apologies for the inconvenience of this and thank you for letting us know.
