K matey not really looking for a runs water anyway somewhere in the middle is exactly what were looking for The fishery is lac de passion, heres a link to their website which is suprisingly easy to use compared to alot of other french fishery websites I've had a look at. I've logged on to some n thought right Im not going here simply becos the web page is set out in a mess and a cant be bothered to look for the information I need as it could be anywhere! lol

You make a good point. The lake we are thinkin of fishing has 250 fish in 5 acres or 7 acres (says 5 and 7 on two different pages on the site so not sure which it is). Would you say this was more of a runs water?

Is if ur not used to it pal!

Me and a friend fished a lake that was something like 12ft on average last year and it proved difficult to fish. The scorching july temperatures had a part to play but did the depth as well? we are only used to fishing places with a max depth of around 10-12 feet in places averaging 8 feet The lake we want to fish is lac de passion and averages 12feet. Will this make the fishing harder or is this just a common occurance in French lakes? Cheers

Any advice and knowledge of this lake and wether its worth booking a weeks hol there wud be great thanks

Any info on this lake would be great thanks I hear its £35 for the year n there are 3 fish over 35lb and loads of 20's which is good for a northern water Only thing that bothers me is the security of the lake as i know its not fenced off or anything like that Anyway all comments welcome cheers

Any information on these as to how good or bad they fish would be great cheers. Of-course I have looked at their websites which are very helpful and factual but nevertheless they're always going to be biest towards there own fisheries. Therefore a good review from someone whose been there and got the t-shirt would be more helpful Looking to book for sept next year. Looking for not too much of a challenge but not a runs water either. Just a steady week id say id be happy with 8-12 quality fish. Any other lake suggestions please feel free to advise (including belgium) Cheers lads

I'm looking for a good lake that gives a good chance of a 30 and plenty of 20lb fish in/near yorkshire. Will go as far as notts, lincs, lancs, leicster. We've been fishing the lakeside complex at Ranskill but are gettin bored and in need of a new challenge. I've looked into a few but I'm not gonna go with Tyrum Hall as we wont get on it till god knows when, the A1 pits seems to dangerous to night fish from what I've heard and Cromwell looks good but £25 per night??? no thank you!!! Anyway any ideas of where to fish are welcome thanks

I know the questions mis leading but when i mentioned the question which included ESP i got no replies so thought Id change it. Plus i thought id be better off asking here then going all the way to the tackle shop to "read the Packet" only to find out that they might not of had the right size in stock

What size ESP shrink tube should i use for kamasan B175's - sizes 4 - 6??

Thanks lads, theres just one other thing: I'm used to playing doubles and the odd twenty.... How would i do things differenty when playing a 30 or 40! I will be pretty nervous as my first capture will probably smash my PB to pieces! still cant wait though

thanks mate but im not sure i want a 50.... i wanna be the first to catch a 60 on charlou!!! haha Thanks for the tips pal i really cant wait for a full weeks carp fishing in paradise!!!

Hi my names Chris and me and a friend are off to France on the 17th July. This will be our first trip so not sure what to expect. Any advice such as food to take/what u can buy over there, fishing licences needed, special tackle requirements, fish behaviour compared to that of UK Carp... anything at all that would aid my first trip abroad and make it a memorable one would be very much appreciated We are fishing Lac du Charlou by the way Thanks again

I'm visiting Lac de Charlou next month and as this is my first trip abroad, was wondering how stronger line should I get; 15lb or 18lb?? I've decided to go with GR60 line as I've used it before and I'm confident with it. I asked the bailiff there and he said 15lb if the diameter on it is average but if its thin diameter then go with the 18lb... trouble is I'm not sure what a thin or average diameter is as I've never really taken much notice before. However I thought I'd best get this right if I want my first trip to France to be a memorable one.... Any thoughts would be great thanks
