Anyone fished Lake Laroussi in France?

[ianson75]

Hi all,

 

I am off to Lake Laroussi in France at the end of July 2007 and just wondered if anyone else had fished or heard of it!

 

Any advise would be welcomed.

 

Cheers

Hi there,

 

Excellent well run water... Mehdi is a diamond, and a very helpful guy. Listen to his advice and you should do ok. Some fabulous catches been had this last season with a number of 60lb + fish.

 

You need to find your spots so time spent with a marker rod sill pay you back... I was there recently with Shaun Harrison and he found a nice area after a hour or so markering the area and it produced a big 30 for him....

 

If you can cast a long way 140 yards plus the single hooker in areas the fish don't normally see a bait can pay dividends too. Shaun landed a lovely 45lb mirror using this tactic during our stay. I have shot a short video clip of this which will be on our website when I've edited it...

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am going at the end of june!

 

Is it true you have to draw for pegs on arrival?

Hi there

You don't draw for pegs but for who gets first choice of peg.... naturally if there are any free pegs and you are not happy with your initial choice, ask Mehdi and you can move.

 

If you have the lake exclusive and every one is happy to sort it out themselves there is no draw...

 

It's all to make things as fair as possible.

OK thanks again.

 

You have been very helpful.

 

Do you have any advise on line and rigs to use, i.e 20lb and 20lb hooklengh or use the same as in the UK, 15lb line and hook lengh.

 

Sorry, only my second French trip, reading up, but nothing beats experience.

Hi Ian

 

I've just uploaded a couple of video clips of Shaun Harrison at Laroussi.. they'll be live on our site or on our bait site.

these might be of help... or you can e-mail Shaun direct on shaun@questbaits.com

 

cheers

Fishing Laroussi 9th June- 16th.Pm after i get back

LOOKS A SUPERB LAKE BUT NOT EASY

[ianson75]

I fishing it at the end of June!

 

I was in the double swin with my brother! never again.

 

I caught NOTHING, but I spent time laning his, 52lb, 36lb and 2 14lb, also 46 and 44lb sturgeon.

 

I spent most of my time striking at nothing, because those sturgeon kept swimming roundmy line!

 

Well we all had a good laugh, especially Mehdi.

 

I reccomend it to anyone if they can get in! It's booked up for 90% of next year now and has been for months.
