hi all, We had hired the carp cabin which is in the north corner of the lake this had about 3 acres of water with swims 6-7-8. My mate fished swim 8 and i was in 7, infront of me was some really nice spots but quite shallow so u need a lot of marker work to find deeper area's. The best swims this week were 9 and 10 which had all the fish and action, the 73lb sturgen coming out twice and another 45lb'er.. the 3 guys had loads of takes and carp to high 30's whilst the rest of the lake was dead! giving the other anglers a blanked week or just the 1 fish.. The methods that worked for the 3 guys were fishing 30-40 yards out to the deep spots(silt) on SINGLE hoobaits or maize. Good Points: 1. nice swims!! 2. well spaced out so you dont fight for water 3. easy to get to from the ferry port 4. good clean facilities 5. ur tackle is taken to your swim for u!! 6. You can hear the baliff (john, top bloke) coming a mile off on his quad 7. unhooking mats&slings are supplied free(they wont let u use your own) Bad points: 1. have to be gone at 9am, too early 2. you can only use running rigs or the LEAD CLIPS he sells which r a rip off, these are called morale clips, never heard of them 3. lake is not as big as it seems from swim 7 i could hit the other side 4. Not the easiest water i have graced especially for a heavily stocked french lake, but that maybe be bad timing?
