I went there over 35 years ago now with one of the carpworld trips John Lilly was the trip organiser caught my first 30lb lovely lake

[@jamieheron9751]

Full of pasties for the size of the lake think I will go else we’re 👍

[@westlakedon]

Great memories of that place. Worked there for a month with a mate when I was 18 in 2004. We met a few of the models that were getting naked with carp over on the deer park. It was such a tease. Binoculars didn't make it much better.

I was the bailiff there a few years ago .... the lake has an insane amount of fish in it..... if you can fish at range and have plenty of bait you will catch a lot of fish .... the cats can be a pain and some are MASSIVE really great easy fishing lake my mate mark walsh runs the place now great food and bait available.....go and enjoy it

[@Brian-rp6kq]

Makes me laugh when I see things like pro angler 🤣🤣ffs

[@robgriffiths5280]

A “pro angler” who said the lake has 200 and 300lb Catfish in it 😂 What a twat 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@carpangler5555]

[@jonmiller16]

It’s mad to think I gave James the nickname “ naked” over 20 years ago and it’s still stuck 😂 Nice one lads 😊👍🏻

[@Stevesmith90125]

Great film lads, we’re out there in May.

[@RidgeMonkeyUK]

Good luck 💪

[@MikeySnow-gw8ti]

Here we go

[@robinred1851]

I've never been there but I know the lake. I can't exactly remember but I know it was opened like a commercial fishery at the end of the 1980's. The owner was a young guy from Paris named Rafael Faraggi. I met him 1988 in St. Geniez d'Olt in the south center of France. In the same year Rafael invited me and a friend of mine and we fished together a long weekend on the Seine, west of Paris. I would like to ask if Rafael still owns the lake or is there an other owner now ??? Greetings and tight lines from a Dutchman, living in the Čech Republic 🇨🇿.

How long into his session did Tom fish before spotting he had missed an eye on his rod.

[@davelevyscarpangling.9623]

Great session lads.

[@RidgeMonkeyUK]

Glad you enjoyed it 💪

[@AdamsAnglingTv]

Awsome video Ridgemonkey🎣

[@RidgeMonkeyUK]

Thanks! 👍

[@gavster113]

If it’s such an established lake in France why so many small fish?

[@monkeybrains]

If I wanted to catch a big French carp theres plenty of waters in the UK to do it

[@thegoodwithin5984]

When they’re all over 40 I might consider wetting my lines at fishabil

[@thecarpking]

I was there 26 years ago very nice lake I catcher mij first 35ponder i love it

[@vmsdfishing6821]

Mais um subscrito no seu canal

[@SDT-iy2xb]

Which colour hook bait ended up the most popular and was that wafter or pop up?.

[@kevinwyatt395]

Great watch apart from volume on 23 to hear the talking and on 15 to lose the bloody music

[@robgriffiths5280]

Why do your cameras make the fish look green???

[@Apocalyptic656]

Mmm, pasty bashing ain't my bag fellas.....

[@stokecarpanglers]

All very good but that is a lot of money for bait, i think one of them said he had used 60 kilo of boilies plus a few tubs of hemp. I love fishing but the price for bait alone would be a massive negative for me, but each to their own 👍

[@hollyopen]

Make your own

[@fishingboy221]

Not being able to use a bait boat on here was a real negative for me . Can’t understand it in such a big water

[@starboi3510]

Lay off the riods my friend. Carp like little people. 👍

[@robertwhite-overton-es4kj]

No one goes France for 20s

[@davelevyscarpangling.9623]

It’s a teaching film mate.
