Good morning, we're off to lake Juvanzé at the beginning of October and after a little info being the first time we're visiting.

Can anyone share any tips, whether to use the lakes bait or other

Thanks for any help in advance!

Fished this place for years before jeff had juvanna if you on junvanze use tigers as posion chat are all.over the boilies and take armour mesh we fished blue and juvana and we're plagued by crayfish but they should slow down soon but looking at it they seem to flourish in July 2 of the guys on out trip moved onto juvnaze for 48hrs as no one was on main lake but they blanked
The place is very well run as it was when we fished it years ago still a top venue but wish we had known about the crays etc as we didn't take any mesh and this would have helped as out baits were gone within 6hrs and that included pop.ups
Like I said if you on juvanze use tigers

My friends and I have been fishing all 3 lakes since 2008. We've never used the lake specials and we've always done well. Haven't actually fished Lac Juvanze since 2020 and that was the first time we encountered poisson chat and crays. I think at some point the river may have flooded and poisson chat and crays may have got in the then.

It's a great lake and it's very productive and there some proper lumps in there.

As others have said take some anti cray/poisson chat products with you. Use Korda Super Wrap or Fox Arma Mesh.

thanks for the advice - steer clear of fishmeal bait and take tiger nuts as well then

3 friends of mine fished it last august and had around 120 fish to just over 60 i think chats were a issue but not too bad obviously with the amount of fish they had.However they have come back from blu last week and crayfish were a nightmare much worse than javunze the year before

4 of us just got back from a week on Lac Juvanze. Lovely location/lakes 4 hours drive from Calais with great facilities. it was a difficult week across all 3 lakes as the fish weren't really switched on and we only managed 8 bites/7 fish in total.

unfortunately the email sent before arrival warning us that the possion chat were active landed in junk mail so we were ill prepared to use plastic baits, shrink wrap and tigers as they are normally banned.

there is a signficant population of poisson chat in Lac Juvanze but not in Juvana or Blue which both have crayfish. we paid attention to the advice we got from the bailiff who gave us some tigers and red popups soaked in NS liquid which we all used - by chance we also had some plastic boilies/corn with us as well but it didnt make a difference

would recommend keeping the cabin and swims very clean and tidy as we saw a fair few rats
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
