just come back from a week in france where from november onwards the lake is looked after by a bloke whilst the owners go home for winter. was talking to him about it and the lake is open but gets very few punters. its as cold as over here if not colder which will be extreme cold and can be extremely wet. oh and rock hard just like over here. winter fishing is winter fishing if your here or over in france. it is also a risk travelling all that way only to find the lake is frozen

I disagree entirely. Here at Le Queroy it has been anywhere from low 20s to mid teens up until today. The weather forecast is due to get worse in the New Year but it seems to be the way here. November and December last year were the same. January and February are the months that I wouldn't chance it.
