Thankyou very much for dling a video with information on this lake. I am heading there in a months time to swim 2. How did you find it there? Would you go back? Any other hidden secrets or tips i need to know beforehand ? Cheers. Jim
Thank you for your comment. Would I go back ? Yes I would, and I will be there this Saturday for a two week trip on peg 1. So I should be in a better position to give you all the latest info before you go. Last year the lads on swim 2 were fishing to the far bank but not right up to it they wanted to find a bit of silt to deter the crays. They also had a line 90 degrees left towards the peninsula (that is peg 3) because there were fish showing constantly. So look left 😉 You have all the water to right of that peninsula goes to about 9-10 ft. If the crays become too much of a problem speak to Guillaume and he'll let you use small jars of Tigers. I caught half of my fish on a combination of maize and tigers on the hair. When I get back I will update you with anything relevant or useful. 👍
@onthebucket7958 thankyou very much for getting back to me, all great info there so thanks. Also it's very reassuring knowing you are returning there, that's always a good sign that it's a good place, as I found the kske online and know very little about it other than the few CZcams videos I found etc. Well good luck over the next 2 weeks! I hope you have a great time and I will keep an eye out for any updates before I head there myself in the 29th. Are you doing another video this time? Jim
Hi Jim, have you looked on their website nauticarp.com ? There is a face book link where you can see the recent catches. Some big fish have come out . FYI cradles are no longer allowed , photos in the water ,as I said in the video. I was thinking of doing one more video yes , not as a review but on rigs as I was asked about them. If I am lucky enough to get a couple of nice fish I may include that too . 🤞
@onthebucket7958 yes I have been keeping an eager eye on all catch reports etc. You know how it is as the trip gets nearer, especially to a new venue, every bit of information to help pre-plan is welcome. And yes I have just ordered myself a nash air cradle last week for them in-water shots I hope to be taking lol
I hope you get plenty of use out of it. Having a floating mat does make life easier. If I discover anything helpful whilst I am there , I will pass it on when I get back 👍
Yes , it can be a bit tricky . Retaining slings are so good the fish recover very quickly and then won't pose for the photo 😆. You should see the edited footage 😂As you saw the floating mat and waders is probably the best approach. I've got one last vid to edit for this year from a trip in Sept, it'll be called "We only go to France for one reason..." Hope you enjoy it 👍
Yes, a bit tricky, to say the least, my brother an I are on Graviers , managed to catch the prized carp in there ‘the Swain fish’…this July…was 3am an stormy…all went well with un hooking an pix in the water,thank fook…definitely takes practice when holding monsters! Looking forward to your next vid👍🐟
@@onthebucket7958 Cheers, caught the Swain fish at 67 lb, bit down as normally 70-80 lb, very welcome as Graviers is not an easy lake, an was our second visit to the lake! 😎🐟

Nice review!
Thanks
Excellent info…on a lake at mo that only does water pix, gets a bit mad when your holding a 60 or 70, how do you find it? 👍🐟

That sounds like you had one of the Apex fish , very well done 👍 what did it come out at ?

Superb fish well done, I wish I knew what it felt like to pose with a 67 ....can't help with you with that one yet 😂
