Hi

We are looking for a French venue for next year. There will be 5/6 of us and we want one where we can fish from the island and be close to each and our rods. Fish size not important, preferably 3 or 4 hours max from the port.

So far I've found
Juvanzé
Le saules on goncort

Any other suggestions would be great

Thanks

Ben

Desire if you can get on there.......

Thanks Wayne

Angling lines baurepaire has a central spit I think you can all fish from. And woods lake at goncourt has swims on an island.

thanks mate

Fished Saules a few times and it's a perfect social lake. Wouldn't want 5 or 6 on there though. Woods Lake on the same complex is another good social lake and has a proper lodge/cabin on it, not fished that one yet though

I'd be very surprised if you can get onto any at goncourt for next year.

I have 2 weeks Traque this year (hopefully!) and 2 on woods next year

Saules is very good / nice and the perfect social, we did it with just 4 of us.

Juvanna is also a lovely little lake for maximum 4 fishing. Hopefully my lot still have the record there, think it was 213 carp for the week, I had 101 of them

There's 2 weeks left on Woods one in aug21 and one in oct21

Juvana looks good but at the moment we are 5 maybe 6 of us so it won't work for us.

Although I've not fished woods, I've fished her other lakes on the complex and have had a look at woods lodge etc. If you can book it and the dates suit, jump at it

Thanks mate. It ticks all the boxes.

5 of us fished Woods last June and had one hell of a week with Carp to mid 50's, Grassies to high 40's and 6 Cats over 100lb with 2 of these going over 130lb.
I only fish a commercial once a year with friends for a social and this place ticks the box perfectly.
Should be 5 of us on Traque early June but , that is looking doubtful.

Woods is booked forever

Doesnt look like we can get on woods/saules

Any other suggestions boys

Isn't there a lake on the Jurassica complex that lets you fish from an island?

In reply to Post #16
Il have a look cheers

Ended up booking Juvana on the juvanze lakes. Spoke to the owner and he was happy to allow 5 on there, but it now looks like only 4 of us going anyway so should be ideal

It's a great lake with a load of fish in, Jeff also a good owner. Nice little complex and great for a social

It was top of the list initially, but due to there originally being 5/6 of us it wasn't going to work
