castle lakes! FANTASTIQUI!

[lions1]

I have been to castle lakes twice now! i wated to find some were to take my sons in France to get them a little bit of french fishing under there belts before i take them to the public waters i have fished on my own.Fishing in France isnt easy! i have fished Cassien back in the 80s 5 or 6 times and lost alot of fish because we didnt have the gear then that we have now.I banked a few to 20 kilo but that was it i was pleased at the time.I got married and gave up for about ten years!My boys are 12 and 14 now and i started again when they said dad we want to go fishing! MUSIC TO WY EARS! Any way we started again got a year or 2 under there belts and went to Castle lakes last year twice. First trip was in May i took my youngest boy jamie for a week Matthew my eldest never fancied it.We done blinding i had 32 fish to 47lb including 4, 30s to 36, and jamie had 22 fish to 36lb and this was a common incuding another 34 and loads of twentys.He lost alot of fish but thats got to be expected at his age.The second trip was the last week of the season last October,Matthew came this time and we had 30lb fish each and a few twentys.At the start of this week the tempreture drop to minus 8 and killed it.If your looking for a venue to have a go at then give em ago.Ron annd Janet are fantastic people and they will look after you big time they did us when our car broke down were going back on the 4th April for 2 weeks if any one is going down there were on swim 16 for the first week and swim 6 on the 2nd week come and say hello and il put the kettle on.Ian if you read this give me a reply mate ive lost your number. If any one wants to see my 47 its on there website under comendations im the bold gezzer with the tails up green t shirt on.Castle lakes is about 7 hours out of calais its an easy drive thou.I hope this has helped if any one wants to know were to start in France you wont go far wrong with this place.
