Brittany Forest Lakes I think

you get what you pay for. my personal experience with an actor was terrible. Main hopper only intermittently opened. Far too light and unstable for the job. Range is another challenge...would imagine fine if fishing up to 70yds. Battery was good. Rear hopper worked well but main one was hit and miss. If fishing close in go for it. if looking for smith to take baits out at range look elsewhere would be my advice.

always have spare leads in the boat.
at night remember to leave a light on at the docking point so you don't have to guess direction.
wear a lifejacket.
if using an engine always have oars also just in case
drop several H blocks in a small area to help you navigate. use a prodding stick to zoom in on what you are looking for

Hi Folks, I am looking for a shelter only for sitting in whilst fishing (not sleeping). should be c. 2m wide by 1m deep and tall enough to sit in comfortably. Ideally with mozzie panels front and back. Have been looking at the kitchen/utility types but they are a bit too big for the swim. any suggestions would be appreciated. thx

if you are just looking for disposables I highly recommend the Decathlon ones. I use them for Golf as I don't fish anymore in the winter. you get 10 for around 4 pounds and each one lasts c.5/6 hours. Not as hot as what Gerry recommends but definitely worth considering if disposable is what you are after.

So obviously due to the Rona May trip didn't happen but happy to say the owners had no problem at all in rescheduling to September for no additional cost. very helpful and understanding. Anyone been out in the last month ? We will now be in peg 7. Any info would be appreciated. thanks j.

Seen a few vids on youtube on this place and took a gamble and booked for May next year. Tired of France and spent a fortune going to EA this year which to be honest was a bit disappointing. Time for change ;-)
There appear to be great facilities with a lodge actually on the wooden platform including beds/bedding, cooker/fridge etc and a boat is supplied. well priced also. worth a look for everyone as an alternative destination. Will do a write up when we are back. j
