An Excellent Place to Stay

We have been here before and find it an excellent place to stay and my husband loves fishing here. He achieved his personal target of a dozen fish (visiting local area during the days and fishing late afternoons and nights). The weather was very mixed. So glad though, we are driving down to another gite and carp fishing lake for another week's holiday near Limoges and not going home yet. We love holidaying in quiet, rural France.

Weather conditions: Rain on arrival Saturday, then mix of sun and cloud with NE winds. Tuesday and Wednesday were hot and sunny and wind changed direction on Thursday. Friday sun and heavy showers with wind from the SW.

Fishing Tactics: From the home swim, caught carp from both top corners and left side of the island. When fishing short, strike early (one buzz)  and keep line tight. When fishing long, the carp tend to kite, so use the whole bank to get the best angle on the fish.

12 carp caught: 8 x 40s, 2 x 30s and 2 x 20s. Average weight was 3 ounces under 40lb.
