The rules haven't changed. The UK is now a third country so third country rules apply. Rules the UK helped draft and sanction.

And the rules are not a problem in the slightest , not in the slightest . Most lakes you book are finding ways to supply bait , I emailed a bait company in Belgium who would deliver to an address near where I fished , it's just using your brains and not being lazy . We would all like to take or have bait ready when we arrive , but really , it's not a hassle we have just got used to the convenience .
The French anglers I talked to don't buy British bait , they chip up to a store like we all do .

Straight on the boat at Portsmouth yesterday. Passport checked and proof of double vaccine asked for. Opened the door and van and closed it within seconds, bait and food clearly visible. Only had passport checked at Caen, not asked for anything else and van not checked and sent on my way.
How easy is it for lake owners in France to employ British bailiffs legally now?

Not very easy now. 90/180 day rule applies unless they get a work visa. Bailiff's working in France year round will need to become resident I would assume.

It's also difficult for any British Citizen to now buy a lake in France and set up a carp fishing business. Even taking over an existing trading one has obstacles not present before.
The owner needs a visa. It can take month's, and not a certain outcome.
In the meantime the business can not trade (or if an existing one can not employ the UK owner, who has to leave every 90 days and not return for another 90 until the visa is processed)
To get the visa you need to present a business plan, proof of income, and police clearance. You also need to demonstrate that the business will make a minimum amount per month from the get go. Every month (including winter!!!).
Before Brexit under FOM UK could literally start trading the day you owned it. There were no minimum income requirements.
it will in my opinion, reduce over time the number of English owned lakes in France. Getting in to it from scratch now has numerous obstacles that didn't exist before. Those English owned lakes that go up for sale will take longer to sell and probably not be brought by a UK citizen. More likely Dutch.

Also the 90/180 rule doesn't apply for work A British citizen can stay in EU for 90 days, but has no right to work during those 90 days.
So a UK balliff to be legally employed needs a visa full stop 90 day rule not applicable in those circumstances.

Download you covid passport and have a copy ready to show them on way out.
On return complete a passenger locator form and get a lateral flow test completed upto 2 days after you return, and report the result via NHS/gov app

Not sure if it's been mentioned already but just a quick heads-up on buying fuel in France as we got surprised. When using a ‘pay at pump' they took around £130 from our bank even though we only topped up with £50. We thought we'd been ripped off but the remainder was reimbursed later. It's the same as here but here we only take the first £1 then the outstanding later.

I think you will find its changed over here now to £99 at some stations. My mate was shocked when he saw it said 130 euros at first aswell

The pumps pre-authorise the maximum amount allowed for fill up to ensure people have the funds to cover what they fill up with. Once you've filled up and the actual amount purchased is less, the system then refunds the difference.
Some systems just put a hold on the max amount and then only takes the actual amount purchased.
This is also the same in the uk
