Hi m8, just on my way home, I ended up with 18 carp to 62lb 😊😊 was a great weeks fishing but had to work my ass off the last few days as it was tough fishing, weather was up and down and not many fish coming out. The usual fish pegs 15/16/17 were just the same,, bagging up, but the rest of the lake just produced 1 or 2 fish per angler, peg 22 did 10 fish,, I enjoyed it very much, but found out they are increasing the cost for a weeks fishing from 400€ to 550€ per angler 😩😩, if anyone had any questions regarding travel routes tolls etc give me a shout and I will help if I can 👍🏻

Congratulations on a top weeks fishing mate, a 60+ is a monster fish from any country!!
I might pick your brain about travel one evening if that's ok as I flew last time but am driving over this year.
Did you find that 15/16/17 seemed to do more fish but the rest of the lake produced the bigger ones? On mine & friends trips it seems that was the case in general, I had a crazy amount of fish with only four over 40 from peg 15 but others around the lake had around 10-20 fish with many over 40 & 50

I was there in mid July mate, I caught plenty of fish but very small average sizes 20-30lb. Others in swims 3/4/5 & 11/12 caught less fish but much higher averages whilst I was there & the same goes for lads I no that were there in September. Obviously I'm not saying big fish don't come from the corner pegs but sometimes you can be on pasty duty is all.

Thanks 👍🏻 Was a tough week for all on the lake, 17/16 was as you say bagging on the smaller fish with the odd 50,,, rest of the lake was pinching odd bite here and there, the drive there was a nightmare as we went through Switzerland, they traffic control all the tunnels, it's crazy, However on the way home we took the mont blonc tunnel to Geneva and that was much better route, we made it back to calais in 12 1/2 hrs and we stopped for lunch, only downside was the toll costs 180€ 😩

With regards to the travel it does sound crazy how these tunnels are regulated, are you saying that the mont blonc route is 180 each way mate?

It might be slightly cheaper because you can buy a return ticket through mont blonc, but yes it will be nearly 180€. Each way, and on top of that there is a price increase to fish the lake of 150€ a week! Making this adventure rather pricey, I would say inc bait and fuel, crossing etc £1200+

Yes I was hit with the extra €150 price myself mate, if I'm honest I dont really think the facilities warrant it as they are ridiculously basic. I was more than a little surprised to see the new swim 7 being built yet swims 16/17 & particularly 15 are so treacherous.......
I think the price of the tolls will probably stop me going that route tbh, can I ask what the price was roughly to go the Swedish way?
