Thanks all for your replys i think we are going to book on rushes and see what happens im a big beliver in fish the water yourself and make your own mind up we have fished alot of waters in england were other carpers have said dont fish this lake for what ever reason and we have had so great weekends. you cant beat inside info when it comes to fishing france because i have heard a lot of people that have had really bad experiances with lakes ie silt weed and being hammered with cray fish not my idea of a great weekend away. cheers again and tight lines to all
