More freak weather

The wet spring/summer continues down here in the Dordogne - this week saw more mixed weather with sunny spells and heavy thunderstorms. All in all the fish don't really seem to know if they're coming or going! Here's hoping for a settled spell to get us back on track.

Rouge

Two first-time anglers fishing Rouge persevered against the elements to land mainly Catfish, along with Carp to 27lbs. Interestingly, the 27lber was stalked on dog biscuits from the lilies in the 'Stalking swim'.

Well done chaps, and I look forward to seeing you again!

Vert

Two anglers fished days only to bag plenty of Carp up to 20lbs+, and were consistently hooking and losing some monstrous Catfish. I know this for a fact, because everytime i went round to visit they had a run! The guys were fishing with our Tutti Frutti boilies and trout pellets...and lumps of Cheese, which the Cats seemed to love!

Bleu

Long-standing Exclusive Angling customers Mike and Colin fished Bleu during the days, and although it was not their best year, they managed a total of 30 fish including Carp to 22lbs 6oz and Catfish to 34lbs 6oz. The majority of these fish were taken during a frantic Friday, a fine way to get over the hassle of packing up a week's worth of tackle!

Thanks for leaving things in such a tidy state, and i look forward to seeing you next year - hopefully under more normal weather conditions.
