Hi guys, I'm off to Bluewater France on Saturday and after some info....
There doesn't seem to be much written about the place although its a fairly well known big fish water.
Cheers.

Yea, there's catch reports now and again but nothing in depth.....

I heard that since it was taken over it's all gone very badly wrong with a strong focus on taking your money and the fishing going badly downhill.....
So it would be interesting for some feedback upon your return...

Not fished it personally, but know someone who does, he enjoys it, catches loads of fish, and goes back every year

This time of year the point swims are the ones pick if you have a good draw
If you are down the other end they do come out on zigs so I'd have one on an adjustable zig as it's up to 20ft deep

It was sold in 2018 the original owners didn't just sell it to any tom dick or harry as he was very clear on that at the time it went up for sale. It was sold to the people that run Waterside fishery in the UK and they also opened another lake in France called Waterside France and they have Lac Du Tard. Your trip should be fine the lake is always booked out

Fished it 3 years ago in September, nice water you want to be in deeper water. Everything over house pellets works. If you are not catching dont be afraid to be different. Dont relly on boilies.

Yes it was sold last year. We had a look at it when we were on Goncourt last September. Lovely lake but very weedy!

It's all well and good coming on here with your first post knocking a venue if you actually stated why you felt that way

My opinion(everyone is entitled to one ) is based on my experience and I found the owner not really helpful and approachable for re booking great venue though 👍

I didn't say you were not allowed opinion, In fact I was pointing out that you have made a statement but have not actually explained why you feel the way you do, which would have been more helpful. Enjoy the forum 👍

So as we're just over a week into our 10 day trip I thought I'd give some feedback.
Firstly the venue is absolutely superb in itself. Good clean toilets and a shower. Plenty of fridge and freezer space for your food, bait and more importantly beers! 🤣
The bailiff team are extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the lake and local amenities. They have done everything they can to put us on fish and make our stay as good as possible.
Gary, the owner, is over at the moment as well and he too is a great bloke.
Now on to the actual fishing...... What can I say about the unreal stock of big fish in here! I myself have had 14 fish including 540s, one of which a pb common of 49lb! 2 50s to 56lb topped by a 60lb 2oz mirror!
My mate I'm doubled up with is also on 14 fish with 2 being 60s upto 67lb!
This is definitely one of the top carp waters in France, if not Europe and one I will certainly be returning to whenever possible!
As for people saying it's all about the money now, we haven't been asked for anything extra or had anyone trying to get money out of us so I don't understand that comment?
So 2 nights left to bag an absolute whacker! 🐳
Cheers 👍
