daveb69 Posted September 19, 2008 Report Posted September 19, 2008 hello all. I'm off to vallee lake in France in June of next year and I'm a bit worried about some of the reports I've been reading about the lack of fishing being caught and when they are caught they are only on certain swims. also a report about dead fish being seen floating on the surface. the owner being interested in constantly trying to make money out of you when your there. could anyone please shed any light on these rumors. many than Dave Quote

daveb69 Posted September 20, 2008 Author Report Posted September 20, 2008 thanks for the reply. have you fished there or is it just what you have read about. we have booked through a company called ccfh so if the rumors are true we will have to try and change venues. Quote
sammorley1 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 hi mate, i have fished there and wouldnt go back if the holiday was for nothing!. sorry to put a dampener on things for you, it was a good week for my friend, he banked a few fish, but it also agrees that were never going back due to the ignorance of the owners, when we arived we had already pre-ordered all of our baits, however it stil took them around 4hrs to fetch out mats/slings/and baits, and we were just sat there ready and waiting. also the guys in the cabin up from us had a food packge booked, and never recieved anything at all, and didnt get a refund!!. my tips would be to fish with 3 pcs of maize on the hair with a pop up maize ontop. fished over alot of maize and hemp. and a snowman rig for the boilies. hope you enjoy it more than we did, tight lines. p.s keep your money in ur pocket and check the prices he gives u for bait are correct and that he doesnt rip you off. !

ajs1971 Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 While the quality and quantity of fish is important.... so is how venues are managed and how us the hard working punters are treated... i dont know many who would return to this venue... i certainly would not after our trip in 2007..... CCFH are great agents and i've used them for over 10yrs.... plenty of better venues available.. Regards AJS Quote
grantd Posted January 25, 2009 Report Posted January 25, 2009 fished there oct 08 fishing was`nt that bad but i would get kicked off this site for posting what i really think of the bloke that runs the place he charged us for bait boats that did not work amongst other things Quote

I look forward to an annual trip to France.. we all work hard preparing and paying for the trip and theres nothing more deflating when you discover the venue is not what you expected... In this particular case the lake management should be addressed and change tact.. misleading anglers is not acceptable.. Quote
