What he said...

---

I have been to the resort before and have always had a great experience, and using the knowledge gained from Tom and David (the bailiffs) from previous trips my most recent trip has been the best yet.
 
I have always gone to France with the dream that one day I would catch the fish of a lifetime, however, you never expect it to happen, but this time it did. Having etted the fish at about 5.30am I proceeded to try in vain to weigh it but was unable to do so on my own so I placed the fish in to the sack and waited until after breakfast. The bailiffs came to the swim with me and took a lot of high quality photos on my behalf. At this point they decided to weigh the fish, I cannot put in to words my disbelief and joy when tom read the scales and said 61lbs.
 
Not having anticipated the weight to be this high we continued the photo shoot in the water while I came to terms with what I had achieved. A 61lb common is in my mind the fish of a lifetime and fulfilled my carp angling dreams, the fish was in perfect condition as has been every other fish I have caught from the resort.
 
I would reccommend the resort to anyone who is looking to catch quality fish in perfect surroundings with people on hand with the knowledge and willingness to help when you need it.
 
If anyone asked for any advise from me it would be to listen to what Tom and David say and implement it, they know the lake and they know how to catch, my success would not have been possible without there advice and help over the years I have fished the resort.
 
Thank you all very much and keep up the good work.
