Posted on our Forum by one of our members – Me and 3 friends decided on a fishing holiday this summer to france! wanted to for years so was like a dream getting out there!!  took quite alot of planning,but lukily i was away in kenya with the army,so the job didnt fall on me!The morning soon arrived, picked up the van, packed it and we were off!!   4 hours 10 mins from lancaster to portsmouth   it was an x-police van haha  the trip went smoothley untill we got pulled over by customs!!    but a quick look in the back of the van and we were on the ferry!!

Portsmouth to Caen was 7 hours so no guessing where we ended up all night  payed the next day though haha but what the hell,we was in france. Just a short 2 hour drive up to the lake,just near le mans. The holiday was booked through angling lines and the lake was a lovely 5 acre lake called Old oaks. Carp to 53lb and catfish to 60+. Didnt see any cats but had a blinding week all the same,here are just a few of our pictures……

my biggest at 42lb
