Crays no but chats yes. I have been a couple of times but always in may so chats are not an issue but you can see them in the margins. I think this is why Tigers score well.

Been 6 times to Holland and its not easy, its all about location and local rules and regulations. Loads of water to go at and most of it is free or only a couple of Euro's to fish. Most of my trips have centred on Niukoop Plassen which is an inland sea of a lake near Gouda. This holds the Dutch record common which is around 70Lbs. It is a challenge though, mostly wild commons that fight like their lives depend upon it plenty of 20's but the bigger fish are harder to come by. Had mirrors to 28 and commons to 29. also grass Carp to 28. Have also fished around Zwolle where there are some good waters and rivers to go out but again local rules around night fishing can be difficult in some places. In my opinion there is lots of potential but finding the right place can be tough. We have never been on a guided tour but i know they exist. if its virgin territory for youi this may well be your best choice cheers

Fished it last year and booked again for the first week of MAy 08. The best tips I can give you are as follows: 1) Don't waste loads of money on bait, pop ups etc, |I spent a fortune last year and they all produced nothing. 2) Chris who owns it is a good lad listen to what he tells you and you won't go far wrong. 3) Pegs are all very much the same you just need to find the bars. 4) Just buy a bucket of tigers off Chris and some of his tiger nut boilies and that is all you need. 5) if you have a boat with a sounder on great if not Chris has rowing boats with an echo sounder that you will need. 6) you need to row around until you find a bar typically you are in 16ft of water and the bars are small where they come up to 10ft. Take 3/4 H block markers, find them in the day and then drop you tiger nut on them with a dozen or so free offerings around it tightly grouped 7) you will need the boat as you need to be bang on the mark, litterally a yard or 2 off it and you will not get a pick up. nights and early mornings are the best, we were there last year in last week of April and it was 90'c so during the day not much happened. 9) local town is only 5 mins away with a huge supermarket and a little sq that has some good cafe bars, spent our afternoons having a pint and watching the local french ladies!! 10) even in the heat could not get them on floaters or Zigs and Chris told us that they very rarely fall for them. overall good place food is good and well located for shops etc The week we were there 6 40's were out and plenty of 30's top rod has 7 fish with 3 40's so its not baggin up time but the fish are worth catching. enjoy.........
