Brittany Mill Lakes, France
What can I say..
Totally amazing experience,
I wanted to go fishing in France (wanted to catch big carp)
I searched the web and found some good reviews about Brittany mill lakes,
went onto website and it looked really good, so I booked it for myself my wife and my son,
After talking to my mate he decided he wanted to come with his son,
so we booked it.

Well my first ever flight, and I was dreading it,
The flight ...... no delays , as I wanted to go soooo much I no I needed to get on the plane.
Well it wasn't as bad as I thought,
Got to the airport in Nantes France and they were there to meet us,
Gave us all a friendly welcome,

The journey to the fishery was good, they talked to us about the lake and the way it fishes,
Got to the house and because we were hungry they had made sandwiches.
We were given the rules of the fishery, which were just standard rules but they said they had to do this, which I can understand.
We were then drove to lake cadouzan
which is about a 2-3 minute drive,
When I saw the lake my first thought was wow,
There were 4 double swims and a single swim all set out great.
The swims went onto the lake , you walked down a small platform and there on the swim were 2 bivvys , all set up with all the gear,
Now my fishing started,
My first fish was at 8.50pm a 15lb mirror, not too bad I thought as I did have all week,
After that I got a fish about every hour or so, my wife and I ended up with 64 fish ranging from 15lb to 39lb,and not forgetting my best a 50lb mirror ,
My son had 23 carp ranging from 19lb to 33lb..But his best was a 45lb cat fish
Oh god what a lake ....
I was so amazed ,
They were so helpful, It was so hot the week we went they sorted us out with sun parasols,
My wife needed to go see the doctor because her feet swelt up and they did all the running about, sorted the appointment with the doctor drove her there and back, all this and still managed to do the meals.

The meals were great, breakfast was delivered to the swim about 9.30, a English breakfast in a baguette, lovely...
At about 4.30 they came and picked us up for the short drive to the house, Time for a shower before Tea.
The meals were great. We were served with a different three course meal each day, And they were really lovely,
I didn't want to leave but then again I did because I need to catch up on sleep,
Overall a totally amazing experience, and I will be saving to go again next year, As for fishing in England .... forget it.
