Just let people write down their bad experiences... Nothing wrong with that if they can explain why they think you should avoid certain venue... Better to have that in one thread instead of search on every venue you are interested in..the only problem is some venues pay to advertise here and I am sure they expect not to be in such a thread...

People can write what they like, just seems like a bit of a witch hunt IMO!
As long as people follow the rules Cam has posted then I'm sure there will be no issue......

I don't agree with the term witch hunt at all.
It's a forum, and sharing information, both good and bad is the point?? No?
Opinions differ, so I will always respect all views.

My first trip to France was about 20 odd years ago and still the only lake I have vowed to never to return to .
We met the owner at his house and he showed us a video of the stocking of the lake and various photos of the fish .
Cuckoo lake located north of Bergerac .
The biggest fish we caught was a 15lb mirror .
Just googled the lake and still appears to be full of pasties .
Limited information available back then , we'll and truly shafted .
Chemical loo filled within two days , having to 💩 in bags .
Just glad the local bar served fantastic food and vino

Its a shame theirs not an equivalent to say, "Check a Trade "........ Check a French Venue ,I expect that would force owners to up their game .
How about Trust Pilot .

I detest Poisson Chats and even called a lake owner to see if they had any before I booked. You have nothing to worry about was the answer, which meant we were given boilie mesh by the owner upon arrival.
I only go to places where I get positive feedback in advance so fully support this page.

I agree with information regarding bad experiences if there is substance behind it
not to ruin a business , but to make others aware
I am lucky that I have done research before booking any lake
I have struggled and even blanked at La Horre
I have been France or Spain 4 times some years and on average twice per year
as long as the owners of the lake are honest regarding facilities and fish stocks then I am happy
always try to read reviews before booking and not after
hope this thread stays , but is managed by the Mods

I guess my friends and I have been pretty lucky as we've been going to France for nearly 30 years and we've had 4 bad experiences in that time. Three of those lakes no longer exist as far as I know or they are under new ownership with a new name which I doubt. One is still out there but lack of income because of coronavirus may well put them out of business. They seemed to be struggling when the lake was open.
