anyone recommend any lakes around brittainy that do 24/48hrs bookings/tickets. or any public lakes. going on the rivers near angers and floating aroun brittainy between caen and nantes. many thanks

fished it and looked after the lakes when chris is away. pm me for info, chats and crays have been bad, especially in high summer months. more bait theft off chat and a few rigs damaged by the crays so keep an eye on ur terminal tackle. always use netting/webbing on any fish meal/pellet baits. i always air drie my freezer baits rock hard too. if u search lac du juvigny on north west carp forum i have done a brief map on there wit few spots. end of july/august usually the biggest bags of fish, but the 60's all seem to get caught in march and november. water levels all over the marne department are close to flood uptil early/late may. past few years the fishing has been slow due to 4-7 feet of extra water in most lakes around this time of the year. swims 3 and 4 close in margins and fishing towards the snags (swim 10), swims 10 and 9 also towards the snags. if swims 6 and 1 are free most will drift into the top bays, pads and little humps at medium range towards the bbq area will find the fish. upto late april most rods have produces that are left in place for 48hrs+, single hookbaits roving during the day seem to work better as well, away from the baited areas of course. row boat/echo sounder is a must, loads of weed and humps/bars to shake a stick at. strawberry and tigers both have there fits and fads of action on juvigny. technispice did well on cooler days. hope this helps liam
