Help on location for French Fishing Trip

[gingerdazza]

Hi guys,

 

myself and a few mates are planning a france carping trip next year and would like any recommendations on destination based on:

 

1. Would like to venue to be more of a runs water than a big carp venue (numbers is what we're after not 50's)

2. Would like good quality swims (no sling-yourself-anywhere-and-sit-in-the-mud)

3. Would like the option of hiring equipment (for one of the party)

 

Yes, I know we are fair-weather amateurs

 

Really appreciate any help.

You haven't included any website link?

Hi Berny and Gordon have had a look at your website but cant find any page with catch reports on. I noticed that you say a good chance of a fifty. How many 50's have you had out this year.

 

Andy and Tracey are your catch reports up to date as I notice that you dont have any entries this year for October, are you closed for the rest of this year if not are you open in the winter. Have you had any fifties out this year.

Hi Ralph How are you long time no see, yes we are a bit late with some of the catch reports we have a number of weeks to catch up on. Yes we are open throughout the winter although we can never tell if it is going to ice over so we do tend not to push it. As for any fifties out this year unfortunately we have got very close with some big forties but have not had a fifty out. We have had close to 60 forties out with at least 19 of them being different fish. We have a file on the bigger fish so we know exactly which fish is which as long as people take a photo of both sides (one side is usually far more recognisable than the other) with some night time pics its a bit difficult to distinguish. But we can say for sure that we have 19 known forties in the lake. If we can help you further do not hesitate to contact us.

P.S. Have you been away this year. Give us a call when you have 5 minutes.

All the best Andy and Tracey
