Hi Peter, the way back was much quicker, our review below..
We fished lake exclusive on Jimmy’s lake (2 anglers) in August 23. On arrival we were given a warm welcome from Peter, Frazer and Sasha the dog. We found the site to be in tip top condition, clear swims with grass cut short and shower / toilet / dining facilities all clean & tidy.
The lakes are very picturesque and give you a feeling of exclusivity and tranquillity. Getting the cars right up to the swims to unload all of the gear was a massive bonus compared with other French venues we’ve fished. We ended the week on 25 fish between us the biggest just under 39lb with an equal activity coming in the day and night which was quite refreshing as a lot of venues I’ve fished in France tend be active only at night. At nights we prioritized fish safety and reduced down to 1 / 2 rods so potentially could have caught more in the night.
We used the lake supplied bait, boiles fished over spod mix and pellet, which the fish are used to seeing as a regular food source.
We would recommend the food package as it was all home cooked and great value compared with drive a survive.
Overall we really enjoyed the trip and would highly recommend the venue
