A: No, there is nothing specific I would recommend especially at this time, but it is always worth giving me a call a week or so before your trip, just so I can keep you updated on how the fish are feeding. ^ back to the top Q: Is the lake a classic estate lake?
A: Yes it is. The lake is over 280 years old, and has a feeder stream, which provides fresh water regeneration. ^ back to the top Q: Are there any Poisson chats in the lake?
A: No! ^ back to the top Q: I have never been fishing in Normandy before. On previous trips to France I have driven from Calais, is it far from there?
A: There are numerous options available when you plan your travelling arrangements for your forthcoming trip. From Calais the lake is approximately 3 hours 40 minutes driving time. Depending on where you live (uk) you are able to choose between several different ferry ports, with some options leaving a driving time, in France, of only 2 hours to reach the lake. ^ back to the top Q: Are ‘drive and survive’ anglers able to use the cooking facilities in the lodge?

It will be a lot easier than bringing it with me! How much notice do you need?
A: We are currently advising guests to pre-order their bait when making their booking. This is due to the high volume of bait supplied during previous years. We feel it is in our guest's interest to reserve their bait, to ensure their request is met in full. We do however, stock high volumes of bait, so you can always purchase extra at the lake, if you require more than you had originally ordered. We currently advise notice of about 2 months. ^ back to the top Q:
