Cas-en-Lac - French Carping Perfection

Report Date: 1st December 2009

Cas en Lac Lake France
Its early September and I am on my first fishing trip to France, the Cas en Lac Lake , also on board are some good friends that have been before and caught very well on the trip to the Cas en Lac lake the previous year
On arrival at Lake we were greeted by a beautiful setting right in the heart of the French Country side. Paul the Bailiff and co owner of the lake gave us a warm greeting with a bottle of beer and a cup of tea.
There were 7 of us in total and had a choice of 13 amazing swims set in 24 acres of Lake. On came the draw for order of choice I stood back while everyone else grabbed a token from the bag , last token in the bag was number 2, I was very happy with that. Wilfy who had pulled the first choice of swim from the bag set off in front of all the others to select which swims we would take. I chose swim 1 below

After the usual setting up I baited my areas with air dried oily chicken boilies 18mm as freebies and a 22mm as a hook bait made and dried by Bevo’s Baits and its GAME ON!
All in all a fantastic weeks fishing at the Cas en lac, our thanks to John and Paul the owners, the trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all and a lot of PB’s broken for many of us
We would all highly recommend this lake to any serious carp angler
