"Les Bouffetieres - It doesn't get any better"
Third time at the lake and a completely different season to contend with. Icy misty mornings clearing to bright sunshine and warm sun. Wind variable but on two days very cold from the East.
Fish were reluctant to feed but with perseverence and much changing of tactics we caught some "stunners". Fished in every corner of the lake and in the shallows and deep water but most fish were caught near to the margins and with small baits such as sweetcorn and small boilies.
I caught a 28lb and 23lb mirror on my trusty float rod using a size 10 hook and 2 grains of sweetcorn close in between the oak tree and island and lost another bigger fish when it shed the hook. My best fish was a 31lb mirror that had not been caught before and was on a scopex boilie. Lots of bites on fruity pop-ups but unable to hook the fish.
My wife Barbara caught a 17lb Sturgeon and a nice common carp also 17lb on scopex. Altogether the number of fish caught did not match our success earlier in the year, but for october it was wondeful weather and just great to be fishing.
Highlight of the week was my 6lb Tench and a stunning 19lb Common carp which shone like silver.
Cottage once again more than excellent and company was terrific. Look forward to next year and getting to grips with the one fish I want to catch! Glen and Linda know which one I mean. I have a plan...

The weather was against us from the start but we still caught our first sturgeon, carp & tench. The cottage is lovely & would like to come back again in the summer to experience the warm weather, sitting around the lake with the fish biting would be idylic! We all had a good time, see gallery for photos.

Treated ourselves to a Xmas & New Year break. Ju caught carp, several fish upto low 20s despite the freezing conditions.
The Cottage is GORGEOUS!!Spacious, comfy & VERY tastefully appointed with an excellent kitchen. Local Shops are useful & in easy reach of Laval awesome with all the Xmas lights. The estate is pretty and full of Deer & other wildlife& loads of birds.
I can heartily recomend the hospitalality of Les Bouffeteires & the first class accommodation. Can't wait till our return in the summer.

OF 30LBS6OZ, this was followed by Barbara's 21LBS8oz, she was only using a match rod& reel. Quite an achievement.The Cottage was amazing, very comfortable & homely. All in all a fab week which we all enjoyed.
