Fred's trip to France!
Last week Fred took a trip out to France for a spot of Spring fishing. Let's hear from him how it went down... Don't forget to follow him on Instagram to keep up with his angling! @fredvandort
5 day in France
It is Friday morning, March 21st, and I am heading out on my first trip to beautiful France.
My destination is the stunning Trois Fontaine, a lake situated in the middle of a forest in the French Ardennes, near the village of Script.
After getting the green light from Jon (the owner of the lake) to fish with four rods, I set up two rod pods for two rods each:
1. SS-Low Pro Pod
2. Pod Kit Black Edition
Friday night into Saturday was an immediate success.
At 4:10 AM, I caught an 18.7 kg mirror carp, and at 5:45 AM, I landed a 21.2 kg mirror carp.
Saturday night into Sunday remained quiet.
During the day on Sunday, I took the rods out of the water until 5:00 PM.
On Monday morning, at 5:50 AM, I had a strong bite, resulting in a 17.7 kg mirror carp.
Unfortunately, a major weather change caused the fishing to slow down.
During this trip, I used a simple blow back rig.
I will definitely return to this beautiful and natural lake!
Best regards, Fred
We want to hear from you!
