I did but realised i had asked a similar question 2 years ago when we bought the property so have referred back to the original replies, sorry for the confusion.

Bearing in mind i haven't fished for 30 plus years and have never fished a river before i was looking for some help on rigs and tackle etc so thought this would be the best start getting advice from an expert !

There's a few videos on YouTube Steve briggs done one last year fishing at River lot paradise, worth a watch

I will give you one to be getting on with.
Go to Cassenuil and fish by the picnic bench on the right of the pedalo hire and beach as you look at the water or on the opposite bank below the houses.

Thanks for that, our property is literally 500 metre's up river from there, the problem i have is how to fish it and with what tackle and rigs etc.
As suggested it may be worth some trial and error.

I would recommend just using strong tackle and simple rigs with big leads,a boat will come in handy for placing rigs
bait wise any boilies or tiger nuts and maize will be fine
the steve briggs video on youtube has a bit on the rigs he was using and shows you bits and bobs to get you started as suggested by some one above

No contact details unfortunately, but have done 6 or 7 trips myself over the past few years.
Incredibley strong gear - i use 40lb braided mainline down to a 60lb fluro catfish leader to deal with snags.
Basic lead clip with 8oz grippers depending on flow might need more.
Simple, long hair rigs, size 1 or 2 hooks, as big a hookbait as possible - i like 2x24mm boilies with a high vis topper - this might or might not keep the bream/chub at bay.
Edit: Id say a boat is a neccesity - i think id have lost every fish if i didnt have a boat - they are the best fighting fish you will come across.

Is your property the Villeneuve side of the bridge?
Someone has bought a house there and has refurbished it, there is/was a small boat moored just below this particular house and I saw a guy playing a carp from there last year. We drove around and there was a Frech family in residence with a couple of bivvies by the side of the river. The fish was a mid twenty from what I can remember.
On talking to them it transpired that they had bought the house as it's on the river bank and they are keen carp anglers. Looked as if they had done a lot of work on the house because we went to view it nearly 2 years ago and it was in a right mess! Could be worth introducing yourself to them, I'm sure they would assist their "neighbour".
Tight Lines.
