HOPING to visit later this year, would I be best advised to take a bait boat? I'm not a long caster (100yards or so).
Just looking to make things as stress free/ comfortable as possible, with a decent chance of a few fish. Tia.

If you have one then why not take it? Use it if you find the need.. As an aside, have you seen Kev Ellis's video on Lesmont?

Cheers mate, yes I've spoke to others and seen Kevs videos, not got a boat but I'll get one to take, don't need the stress of struggling to get tight, or pulling for a break with a rig in the trees.

It's where the fish in my profile is from when the lake was owned by Andy its the Guvnor at 64lb. I fished from the lodge used a boat but found the feature finder was more important was only using a cheap one but it was a lot easier to find the spots. Does Lee not hire them for the week if not and you are near Baitboat solutions they hire boats as do UK bait boats

Kev ellis has just put a vid of Lesmont on YouTube
Worth a watch to help you decide perhaps?

Been a few years since I last went, but as others have said a boat is definitely advantageous in some swims but don't forget the near margins as they are hardly fished and can be very productive especially if the lake isn't busy (nobody next to you).

Cheers mate, yes I'll check with our group leader, and find out if Lee hires them out, if not I'll splash out or hire elsewhere.

Certainly got a few pointers on shed maintenance and satellite dish inspection.

uf, some busy roads behind that lake, could hardly hear them speaking.

Still my favorite capture from any lake I've ever fished in France regardless of the size, the only time I fished Lesmont and it was the only fish for me a mid 30 on a four or five day trip the week before Christmas 2009 when Andy owned it, lovely lake always promised myself a return but never got around to it should do as it is a fantastic lake/setup for an enjoyable holiday type venue, good luck a bait boat would be advantageous I never took one and felt I could have done better if I had.
