I think I would be asking the question (what happens if we have another lockedown )before I laid out anymore money
I would rather just lose a deposit than all of it
Check your insurance policy will have some kind of cover on it as well

My trip this may was obviously cancelled, fair play to lac desire they moved the dates to 2021 but i dont think they can move then again.
Just hoping things improve in the spring and will all get to go!

Luckily enough I didn't book anything this year as it was my 50th and my wife took me away in February.
We booked up for next April but was so unsure of how things are going to be we cancelled it.
I've bought a boat on the river instead 🎣🎣👍

We had to cancel our August trip this year but moved it to Sept next. It's a catch 22, but If it was me I'd be very wary of booking to go pre May, which isn't great if you like pre spawn weights.

As I've lost over £500 on trips this year and not wet a line I'm very wary of ever going again. If I do, I'll need guarantees from the lake owner on what will happen if this nightmare continues, or, happens again.
Some lake owners need to remember it's us, the paying customer who gives them money, take the p?ss and expect me to do it again???

Of course, certainly hope so, as that will be when my next (and probably last) trip is booked to France. Trying to lift big carp (if you catch them) is a young mens sport!

My avatar 6 years ago was going to put it back but the owner insisted I had a pic so him and another placed it in my arms with mats all around as been after it for 4 years .
He knew I was crocked .
A 20 lb fish is my limit for picking them up .

There really is no point in booking anything at present. I've booked and rebooked a family holiday 3 times now and had it cancelled on all occasions, the latest being for April!. Judging by the posts on here, these pay lakes make their own rules up as they go and you're taking a massive risk with your money, as they have the ability to say "soz, we have bills to pay too". Never understood why you would want to go to a different country only to be surrounded by english people, on an english run lake, waiting for Dorris in the wooden clubhouse to ring the dinner bell only to be handed a cold fry up, but each to their own I guess!

Sorry to hear that you have had 3 holidays cancelled and the last was April, is that next April or last April? I have had 2 holidays cancelled this year (non fishing) and great difficulty in getting my money back, but eventually I have. I would like to think that the majority of people who booked fishing trips in France are satisfied by what they have been offered as compensation for their cancelled trip?
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.
