I'd really love to but I don't think I'll be able to swing it with the mrs as have a trip booked elsewhere too.
As for the crays, both my trips have been in October and they weren't too much of a pain but definitely present if fishing harder spots. Would be worth wrapping your baits. I didn't have any issues when fishing softer spots.

i was there a month ago. they are a pain out there at the moment. you will need to mesh your baits up and i wouldnt dream of not doing so.
i used the Korda stuff and needed to wrap it twice. i wrapped the bait once on one and the little ****ers managed to get the all of the pop up out of the end bits. was left with nothing but a bit of shrink wrap on.
this was in peg 13, some swims were effected as badly as others but i wouldnt be chancing it at all.

Evening all, Out early November on whole lake booking with 6, not fished it for two years, Does MCF still work well or is there another bait people are finding effective.
Catch reports seem to of drifted off over the last year or so, with pressured waters like many in France always find something different can work well.

dont think it sees half as much of the MCF stuff out there anymore as it used to.

Cheers Foxy, I had a feeling it might not of, I'll take the usual homemade s they won't of seen them since last time we was there.
Gone a bit quiet on the forums about the lake, I remember when you couldn't get on it for the waiting lists.
What swims do you like fishing, never fished 13 but done well in 5 and 12

Depends on the time of year for pegs i guess. i have fished every swim except 12 and 2 i think. my best hit came from peg 10/11 (16 bites) and then 13 (14 bites) this year. biggest fish ive had there was from 4. think 13 and 1 are probably my favourite pegs if i had 1st choice.
the waiting lists are still pretty long i think. i know Mick has a full book for the next year pretty much. ive not booked for 2020 though as having a year somewhere else now.

Out next Saturday and the fish look well spread still. The warm weather at the begining of this week should keep them that way before it cools and they drift back into the bowl! Anyone been in the last few weeks know what the cray situation is like?

Don't get obsessed by the deeper water... I fished it for the last time a couple of years ago in peg 4.
Had a 42,52 & 72 in the bay to the right... first week of November.
They'll move away from the pressure.

Same with most lakes, often fish move into the areas not being fishing, quite a few people rest there swims for a day and night especially on charge over day, lots of thrapibg water noise, bobby pegs going in fish move in, I don't have that faith but I know it's worked well for others, also only fishing one rod.
But stuck at Island as it's boiler only, like fishing something different, also don't fish with lots of bait. The norm for prior is to fill it in it seems.
