Paul Hunt was fooked off along time ago, best of luck getting hold of Pascal, they have had some massive forest fires in the area last week they had to evacuate the lake for a few days 200 firefighters getting the blaze under control.

Dont bother trying . Unless you know someone currently fishing there and can get a place through them , you are frankly pissing in the wind trying to contact him .

All good and under control re the fire on the lake. Fish feeding like crazy in few swims

Re bookings...boys are 100% right. Positive thing is,few of my friends took first timers there lately and all off them got their own bookings Just a matter of getting there for the first time

Good luck

Because that's just how it is, if you dont get asked you've not been chance at all. It's an invite only kind of place, everyone knows that surely...

All depends really what kind of venue your after, the type of fishing you like to do? as in from the bank or do you prefer using boats and that type of venue what sort of facilities you are bothered about so drive and survive spit and sawdust or fully inclusive where you can keep your slippers on all week and get fed twice a day, expectations on catches or size, how far your willing to travel.

Are you there now Tom? I had heard it had dropped the level of the lake by a few feet over the course of a few days with them filling up the tanks on the engines from the lake, I know they got evacuated for a night or possibly two as Jacob Fourwood and a few others were posting updates he had mentioned it was fishing very well despite all that was going on.

Unfortunately not. My booking was due last two weeks when it was still closed because of virus. But my friend was there first weeks after reopening and caught plenty.
Water level low as it was extremly hot (42'C when fire started) and still no signs of rain

Waiting for December now

Used to fishing big pits, would like the lake to hold a 70 at least. We can send for ourselves aswell. Apart from there were very easy and open we've been also looking at lake bled.

I had a booking with my mate this year but had already passed it up before the lockdown anyway so never really missed out, different lake but i have a booking for October just hope were not in a second lockdown by then or my next trip is June 2021 on one of the Rainbow regulars new venture Kris Van Looy's the fish are stacking the weight on should be a decent head of 40's and 50's by then.

Good luck with your winter trip.
