One of Angling Lines most popular venues, Lac du Val, has seen its record smashed with a fabulous 57lb 2oz mirror caught by Nigel Costen.

Lac du Val is run by Dave & Sammy Harding who have put together this very special 5 acre venue with much loving care. It boasts 2 lakeside cabins set in beautiful surroundings in the most tranquil of French countryside. In addition to fabulous fishing Sammy also offers one of the best menus of home cooked food you’re likely to come across at any venue. It’s immensely popular with Angling Lines customers and a quick glance at the feedback will show you why.

Nigel takes up the story of his capture;

“As this was my first visit to Lac du Val I took Dave’s advice on choice of swim… and I’m so pleased I did!  He told me to bait an area under the over hanging branches of a large oak tree as he knows this holds big fish. He also helped me with my rigs and persuaded me to try the D-rig. I fished this with a Lac du Val Special single boilie popped up 2 inches off the bottom, fished over mashed up soaked pellet and Dave’s special party blend of particles.

I had been baiting this area for 4 days without a take but persevered and finally the 57lb 2oz monster came my way. Dave recognised the fish straight away as a fish he’d stocked a few years ago at 38lb and it had evaded capture for all this time. I’m still buzzing nearly a week later! I also caught a mirror of 38lb, a common of 34lb and a further 10 fish – all 20+’s

Thanks to Dave for helping me catch the fish of a lifetime – Lac du Val is a place where carp fishing dreams really do come true!”
