"Just got back from Les Montautiers - Hooked
in France and thought it was appropriate to put pen to paper and
give this superb venue some much diserved credit.
It may not be the
biggest
water in France (but as they say size isnt every thing). And Montautiers
certainly has a lot to offer. At just over 5 acres and boarderd
by mature oaks and traditional french populars the setting is nothing
short of stunning!!!..
The facilities are excellent, the best I've
been
to so far. Both Lee and Tiffany who own the lake are real gems
who go out of their way to make sure your stay is first class
all the
way. With superb food and hospitality you would have to go a
long way to beat Montautiers.

Oh I nearly forgot and then there's
the fishing which is what you could only describe as fantastic.
There were 5 anglers
in our party and one non angler. We all had pbs and caught
our fair
share of some of the stunning fish that reside in Montautiers. Infact we went that little bit further and managed
to break the 7 year fishery
record for most fish out in a week with 89 fish banked. Most
of these were upper twenties with 8 going to mid / upper thirties
and
a few
cats and sturgeon just for good measure and a bit of variety.
Infact for one of our posse it was the first time
that he had ever sat behind a set of rods fishing for carp and he
managed no less
that
33 fish
himself one of these was a stunning 30+ common (I think
its safe to say that he definatley has the bug now!)
So there you
have
it an absolute first class fishery run by first class people
Highly recomended.Thanks
again to all involved wew will be back."
