Etang Marolles 2nd - 9th May 2026
This week saw a whole complex booking by a group of 9 returning anglers, which comprised of 8 gents and the lovely ‘Lady Lill’. Dads, Sons, Husband & Wife, Brothers and good friends, made for a fantastic week across both lakes.
Torrential downpours for the best part of 2 days didn’t deter the group, they continued with heads up and banked a total of 33 fish between them. The tally comprised of 12 x 40’s to 49lb, with only two weighing in under 45lb, 16 x 30’s to 39.8lb and 5 x 20’s to just shy of 28lb.
Paul stole the show this week breaking his PB not once or twice, not even three times, but five times. A trip of a lifetime for Paul, on his second visit to France, his first being as a child, let’s just say ‘a few years ago’, with two PB commons to 47.4lb and three PB mirrors to 49lb. Well done Paul. Keith also got in on the act with 3 x PB’s in the form of Common, Mirror & Grassie! Well done Keith.
We topped off the week with a couple of bottles of fizz, to celebrate 55 years of wedded bliss for John & Lady Lill, obviously the catch of their lives for both. Congratulations John & Lill.
It’s always lovely to receive great comments in our log book. A couple from this week read….
‘Could not wish for better hosts, who have done more than we could have wished for, especially Sir Rodney, the Rod Man’…….if you know, you know LOL!
‘Thank you for a fantastic week and for taking care of us all so well’
‘Great Lake, great fish, great people, 5*****’
