After waiting almost 2 years from booking on, we finally got to see Adrian Ruddick and his son Daniel.

The temperatures have been so erratic seeing freezing some nights and then 18-20 degrees glorious sun in the day, the fish decided to switch off they managed to wheedle out 5 fish to Daniels New Mirror Pb 33.08 and his New French Pb, one of Adrian's fish being named Pacman All caught on lake bait Carp PB Boilies

Well done guys, a brilliant week had a good laugh too.

Thank you both for a great week leaving all facilities, swims and swim tackle in beautiful order clean & tidy. Daniel is growing into a lovely young man, very well mannered, great attitude, and is very passionate.

See you next year

Last week we saw new boys to Barn View from Plymouth Simon Patchett, David Land and Steve Bealey, who have been regularly coming to France thought they'd come to an intimate private venue to have to themselves.

They had a great week, with a reasonable amount of carp considering the weather threw some sudden reduction in temperatures, they finished on 23 fish in total no big girls playing but lots of mid to upper 30's and a few stockies. Simon got the name golden for his regular before dinner catch lol, David played the night owl, getting most of his fish in the night/early hours, and Steve attracted stockies adding to the future monster pool lol.

All caught on the lake bait Carp PB Boilies and the boys took some home too, to use on their syndicate lakes

Thank you guys for a great week, the lake, fish and all the facilities were treated with the utmost respect, and left in beautiful order

Thank you see you all again in 2023

​

This week we had Brothers Martin & Daniel Armstrong and Uncle Tim.

The boys decided to take up our flight package and thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish and will be travelling this way on their future visits.

The fishing was a little quieter than expected with the change in weather...but they managed to have 13 fish between them, a couple of stockies, some 30lb+'s and Martin's new 40lb Common PB with his just shy of 42lb Common, he has in the past jumped the 40's but absolutely made up with his new Common PB in mint condition The Kingfisher on his rods certainly brought him the luck.

Thank you guys for a fantastic week, sooo great to see you all after a while, had such a laugh and a pleasure having you all here, and Thank you for leaving everywhere in beautiful order and neatly leaving all the hired tackle.

See you next year

Fantastic week with wonderful friends, it had been too long, but finally got you here.

Peter Adcock & his two Sons Daniel & Tom, the boys had a great week, none of the big girls playing (but Dan's lost one he saw, may have been one of our big commons)Weather was hot hot hot, but they had a decent amount with 30 fish to 39.12lb unbelievable all mirrors, Dan having 14, Tom on 11 & Pete on 5 & capturing some future beasts for the stock pond all these were commons.

All caught on Barn View Lake bait BV1 Carp PB Boilies

The boys identified a fish they have called paw print & experiencing two of the swims they thought from Mum saying "your in your own little sanctuary" to call Pete's swim "Sanctuary" and Tom's swim "The enclosure"

Thank you boys for a fantastic week couldn't have chosen a better week to kick us off, as I always say and it's sooo true you are all a pleasure to have on the lake, beautifully mannered, respectful and we have had such a laugh too...Thank you all of you see you again next year

OCTOBER 2020

 

From Several weeks ago, some of our boys managed to get out before all the further covid restrictions

The week saw Andy, Martin our adopted sons lol & friend new to their French trips Tom.

The drastic temperature and pressure drop played a part, but they weren't put off, with the crazy weather downpours, rainbows and storms

Andy putting his bankside chefs skills to practice with his fabulous kitchen tent, the boys were well looked after ate well, and had a few fish out 14 in total, in mint condition & 3 gorgeous stockies that have gone in stock pond to grow.

Well done boys disappointing that they didn't have any of the big girls out, but all caught on the lake bait, had a great time, and it was fantastic to see them again and loved having them on the lake.

Thanks guys for a fab week.
