With guest staying at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool enjoying some great weather, one group of guest decided to spend a few mornings fishing the local lake.

The guest had booked both La Forge and La Veille Maison to enjoy a large family holiday in France having 3 adult generations of the family stay to enjoy the pool and garden on a private basis.

The father took his son fishing to the lake and on one morning caught his first Zander on his oldest piece of fishing equipment within his bag, an old spinning spoon.

He was actually just demonstrating on how to retrieve the spoon to his son when all of a sudden the line raced across the lake for him to catch this lovely fish 5 minutes later.

On Monday 14th July France celebrated Bastille day via a national bank holiday and what a great opportunity for Josselin to hold it's Medieval festival.

Just 5 minutes from the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool is a lovely private fishing lake where no fishing licence is required.

You can either pay 10 euros for a full day or 5 euro for a half day ticket, as we have young James I've just slipped away for a 4 hour fish once per week to enjoy some great sport.

Yesterday I caught a beautiful almost full leather  Carp of around 10 lbs plus around 30 roach caught on the other rod as a bit of fun. I've been informed by the owner that the Carp do go up to 40lbs. Within the lake there is also Pike, Zander and Perch.

Guest staying at La Forge and La Veille Maison have plenty of choices from the rivers Blavet and Tarun, private lakes and a host of other places.

Yesterday at the Brittany holiday cottage with private heated swimming pool I popped along to the local private lake just to enjoy a 4 hour fish.

It was the first time I took sufficient amounts of maggots to last a day and as soon as I arrived threw a hand full out in to the swim while I set up my rods.

The first rod was set up for the carp, I ledger-ed  sweet corn and used a bite alarm so I could concentrate on the float rig with the maggots.

After 10 minutes while my alarm screamed out and I struck into my first fish, a lovely slender Carp of around 6 lbs.

From then on the carp rod went very quite and that was the only bite during the 4 hours, while on the other rod I caught over 30 small Roach and a single Perch which was great fun - getting a bite with every cast within the first few minutes.

Its a lovely way to fish, being amused with the float rig while still having the hope of that carp rod getting some action.

The lake is just 5 minutes from the Brittany holiday cottage and you can fish it without a licence for just 10 euro per day or 5 euro for a half day.

It's a lovely little lake for guest staying in La Forge or La veille Maison to get in a sneaky fishing trip during there holiday.
