During the week, managed to catch 2 fish. The highlight weighed 16kg. Both were stunning fish. Unfortunately, the fish were mostly on the opposite side of the lake during the week, which impacted the catches. Additionally, there were significant problems with catfish, making it impossible to fish with boilies. However, tiger nuts worked just fine.

Unfortunately, I didn't catch anything :) but, just like during my last holiday, the weather was awful. Three stormy days to the point that even my umbrella broke. The fish started to become active on the day of departure :)

We managed to catch nearly 30 fish in one week, including five carp over the 20-kilo mark. The average weight ended up being just over 17 kg! We were particularly impressed by the incredibly beautiful and varied fish stock. From deep-bodied mirror carp to hard-fighting commons, as well as a stunning koi and character-rich beauties, there was truly everything. An absolutely impressive fish stock that thrilled us and left nothing to be desired! Everything fit perfectly for us this week! The wonderful lodge leaves nothing to be desired; the absolute peace at the lake and the fully enclosed area provide a pleasant feeling of security. Together with the excellent support on-site by Yoan, it was for us a completely successful, relaxing, and productive fishing week.

Julian van den Goorbergh

Caught 3 carp, 3 grass carp, and 2 sturgeons, with the largest being 20kg and the smallest 14.5kg. Also caught 1 bream and 2 tenches as bycatch. I was on swim 4 and was informed upon arrival that there was supposedly a significant issue with coots, yet I experienced no trouble with them throughout the week. Had a wonderful week overall, and I will definitely return!

Despite the challenging situation beforehand, we caught very beautiful and large fish. All the fish were in excellent health and flawless condition. We can now confirm that everything in the lake is currently back to excellent order. We have already booked again for next year!!!

🎣 A beautiful water, but the challenge has changed I have been enjoying this water since 2004 and have had great times here over the years. During our visit, the catches were good, with notable highlights being carp weighing 19.5 kg, 18.9 kg, and 18.5 kg. The other fish were mostly between 5 and 9 kilograms. All in all, definitely not a bad session! However, there is also a point of criticism. It's a pity that nowadays there are so many smaller stocked fish in the water. Additionally, I notice that the lake has become much easier to catch fish from. Where it used to be known as a challenging water that required real effort, nowadays it almost seems guaranteed that you'll catch fish. Nevertheless, I have been enjoying my visits here for years and have fond memories of this lake. That is exactly why I hope that the challenging character from the past and the quality of the carp stock can be preserved. All in all, it was a good session with great catches, but I also hope that the water regains more of its former challenge! 🎣🐟

Good catches, although unfortunately no fish were caught on swim 3. The fish are very strong, and a boat is necessary to land your catch. We had rented the entire lake for a weekend and caught a total of 21 fish.

We had a weekend trip, but due to a weather change just before, the catches significantly reduced. We had two missed runs and caught a small catfish, but we still enjoyed ourselves with some rounds of darts and watching F1.
