Etang Marolles, An oasis with true pearls

A trip to Lake Katlov in Czech Republic was planned which was still yellow on Tuesday before departure, but on Wednesday all of Czech Republic turned orange. Really disappointing but one thing was certain. We were going angling. After contacting Reclin from Angling Escapes, there was space at Etang Marolles in the Mayenne department in France. With 6 people we were going to fish this beautiful lake exclusively.

Last year you read about De Ganzenkuil, this year we're taking you to Het Duylmeer with new catches and great experiences. Curious? Read on quickly!

Carp dream in Herpen

At the beginning of October, we went to Carp Dream for the first time. We had seen the photos on Facebook, but we still didn't know exactly what to expect. Our midweek started restlessly with many false beeps at night, a few missed bites in the lily pads, and a malfunctioning bite alarm. All in all, not the best start you hope for when fishing on a paid water.

Weekend Danny’s Carplake

Near Veldhoven lies Danny's Carplake, a beautiful pay lake in the heart of nature where you can fully enjoy carp fishing. Klaas and Bart went on a team session there and are happy to share their adventures and catches with you.

The annual, like father like son trip. (part 1)

Fishing story by Jordy Kyper: The hobby of fishing didn't just fall out of the sky for me. It was more like being spoon-fed from birth. From a young age, I would go with my father after dinner to catch roach behind our house on the canal. The roach became bream slabs and the bream became carp babies. For several years now, my dad and I have been going on fishing holidays. This year we went to De Ganzenkuil water for a long weekend.

The annual, like father like son trip. (part 2)

In the first part of the article about the fishing holiday with my father at the Ganzenkuil, you could read that it wasn't all that easy. The carp were in full spawning season and it were mainly smaller stocked mirrors that came to shore. Will we still manage to get one of the old stock into the water?

Edventure Predator Orellana Extremadura

By the end of March, the water of the Orellana reservoir in Extremadura is slowly warming up. I'm getting a visit from one and a half Swiss: Stephan Palson, a passionate predator angler from Switzerland, and Dean Hall, an Englishman and carp angler who is discovering his new sport fishing adventure in Switzerland.

A fantastic week on France’s l’Epinet

My fishing buddy and I visited the still unknown water l'Épinet in November. We were welcomed by the friendly manager and surprised by the beautiful, tranquil water. Our spacious and neat swim immediately impressed us – for me, this is one of the best bivvy waters I know. The other facilities were also in excellent order.

Carp fishing at The Goose Pit

Friday morning, September 1st, the time had come: we were going on a fishing holiday again, just the two of us. After last year in France, we opted for a location closer to home this time, namely the Ganzenkuil near Nijmegen. Once we arrived at the beautiful lake, we decided to first take a walk around it. We turned out to be the only ones on the water, so we were allowed to choose a spot ourselves
