Out there on the continent, Younes Gonzalez has been catching monumental carp from waters ranging from tiny canals to inland seas. We tae a look at his favoured pre-prick rig.
Situated in a listed area of beauty, this seven-acre lake is nestled in the Larraine region of France, only three hours' drive from Calais. With pristine carp and immaculate gravelled swims this is a stunning fishery, perfect for a fishing retreat. It is suitable for up to six/seven anglers and can be booked as a lake exclusive or individual swims. A full-time English bailiff is available on site
A popular two-acre day-ticket water with three islands, so there are plenty of features to go at. Can be silty in places but also gravel and clay areas around the eight swims
After all the difficulties of lockdown there has never been a better time to get out on the bank, and especially to take someone who is new to fishing! Even better news, it’s a free one-day licence for them!
