gilo1978 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 Hi, Myself and a friend are planning a trip to france this summer. We have spent the last couple of years on the Ebro which has been great but we both feel its time for a change. We are planning on 4 nights fishing, drive and survive with hopefully somewhere that can do food. We really want somewhere well stocked with a decent chance of a 40+ and plenty to keep us busy. Ideally the venue would be within 4 hrs of Calais as we are only having a short break so want to get among them if possible. Would prefer tranquil setting as not big into team korda love!! Any advice would be appreciated, I have trawled the forum and the net and there is just SO much to go through I would like a bit of first hand advice. We can do July-Sep so also advice on which month would be more productive would also be helpful. Thanks Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrs_rusheslake Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 I am glad that you are now giving France a go. Given the choice I would certainly pick September, weather wont be scorching and fish will be beginning to put on some of their pre winter weight. I am not sure how many lakes would be offering short breaks during the season as most only offer a Saturday - Saturday week. I would certainly email Eddie at Genesis Fishery he is fairly new so he maybe able to accomodate a short weeks break, this lake would certainly fit the bill on all counts of your wishlist. Gazmeesh went there in the autumn of 2010 for a short break and was full of praise, his catch report is in the French Catch Report section http://www.genesis-carpfishery.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilo1978 Posted January 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 Hi, After all that I managed to sway a weeks fishing and we have decided to go to Old Oaks. Looks a fab venue, just will have to provide our own food but never mind, fishing takes the front seat!! If anyone has any experiences at Old Oaks I would like to hear about them. Cheers Giles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
