Morning all.
Been offered swims 1-3 on lake 1 for a week in August. Has anyone been recently? All comments/suggestions good or bad welcome.
Thanks.

My first and last trip there was over 10 years ago so it may have changed. But I wouldn't go back if it were free, in fact you couldn't pay me to return.
Rat infested, poorly kept, drunken Dutch anglers jumping into the lake & fishing whichever lake they pleased (we have a lake exclusive but they had rods through poke holes directly over our spots) baillifs/owners refusing to do anything about it.
Cant' remember which lake we fished but for every Carp we caught there were 10+ Sturgeon and Grass carp inbetween. The fish were in very poor condition too.
The only positives I can give are that it was close to Calais for a first French outing, and cheap - but you get what you pay for.
There are far better run lakes not far you should consider from my experience instead.
