Looking at the dates . I would go for september...
Pegs arent as important as conditions.
All the pegs you chose produce fish.
But if conditions arent good, so will be the fishing im afraid.

Swim 26 is on south basin which is apparently jammed with weed.
Swim 14 is ok but be prepared for daily chaos with swimmers, boats etc
Good luck

47 you can park behind but you need a key available from the Maison. not much shelter from the sun / elements. Quite a few tree stumps out there.

Hello m8. Currently on post 5,..been here a week and with a week left. The lake seems like it is behind for this time of year. Water seems colder than usual and the water level is rising just over a cm per 24 hours. The weather is just beginning to pick up so hopefully the water being pumped into the basin will push the water temperature up a little? The fish in the south basin have started spawning a couple of days ago. I am guessing that the main basin fish are still grouping up and getting ready to spawn?? I know the chaps fishing in 24 and 25 had nothing for last week,(ended today), lads on 26 & 27 had I think 6 carp which included a 42 lbs and a 33 lbs and a couple of small,(under 50 lbs), cats but their swim died off on Wednesday night onwards..I spoke with Slyvian,(guard du Pêcheur), and he said that up until Wednesday he had heard of nothing coming out of the main basin. Depending on when you are coming you could just be timing it right! As yet I have only had a tench and seen no evidence at all of carp!...but fingers crossed. Hopefully that will help a bit.

We're over there in 2 weeks, hopefully as the weather is picking up fish have spawned in the main bassin. With high temperatures coming it could go fast..
How is the weed currently, as last year was horrible??
Good luck the coming week. You only need one bite to catch a fish of youre dreams in there.

Hopefully you will hit it right. At the moment the weed in front of us & in the margins isn't really a problem at all but we have got relatively deep water here so it could well be different on other posts that are shallower? Compared to previous years fishing this post the weed is definitely much reduced. Started catching some big tench now,(10 lbs plus), so the rigs & bait are working,...just waiting for the carp to turn up!!

I'm placing an order for leads, can anyone recommend what colour to use to match the bottom, as it's my first trip?
