No. 1 Expert in Carp Fishing Holidays

Stunning carp, big smiles and a 51lb common at Petit Prés!

What a fantastic fishing trip for Ronnie and Johan! During their October session at Petit Prés, the two friends enjoyed some brilliant carp fishing, landing beautiful common carp, stunning mirrors and even a remarkable two-tone common carp!

With fish coming to the net both day and night, there was plenty of action, excitement and unforgettable moments. And judging by their wonderful catch photos, the smiles say it all! 🎣

Beautiful commons, mirrors and a very special two-tone carp!

Ronnie and Johan arrived at Petit Prés on 3rd October 2026, ready for a memorable carp fishing holiday in France. And that's exactly what they got!

Their catch photos show a fantastic variety of carp, including some gorgeous mirror carp, impressive commons and a particularly eye-catching two-tone common carp. The highlight of their session was a magnificent 51lb common carp (23kg), a truly rewarding catch!

With carp being caught during both daylight hours and throughout the night, the action kept the two friends busy. The enjoyment practically jumps out of their photos, showing exactly what a great carp fishing holiday with friends should be all about.

Small baits and minimal feeding made the difference

In their five-star review, Ronnie and Johan shared a simple but valuable tip for fellow anglers:

"Small bait and minimal feeding were the keys to success."

Sometimes less really is more! Their successful approach proves that careful bait presentation and restrained feeding can make all the difference.

The two anglers were equally impressed with the accommodation and surroundings, particularly highlighting the excellent condition of the chalet and fishing swim.

"The chalet and the swim are well-maintained and tidy."

A lovely compliment and another reason why Petit Prés is such an attractive destination for a relaxing carp fishing holiday.
