Just finished our second visit to Beausoleil and second time around was even better than our first! Having been to a number of French carp venues in the past nothing compared to Beausoleil, and that is completely down to the care and dedication of the venue owners. The fishing is fantastic, a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment. The carp are smart and the catfish are warriors . . . . but listen to Matt’s guidance, read the catch reports & follow the lake rules and you will have a great week of fishing. The rush of fighting a 100lb+ catfish is brilliant, exhausting, but brilliant! We will be returning for our third visit very soon!
Beausoleil is a small piece of paradise, we love it. The enthusiasm and hospitality of owners Matt and Ren is limitless. The fish are healthy and immaculate, the stock of 30lb carp is fantastic for a lake of its size along with good handful pushing through the 40lb barrier… and the catfish are enormous! The difficulty level of Beausoleil is not severe, there’s just a few hidden secrets under the surface of the water which means you need to get the basics right. I would highly recommend booking a tutorial with Matt and reading the blogs / catch reports he writes. I’ve implemented a lot of things he showed me during my first trip into my fishing and it’s made me a better angler for it.
Little did we know how wonderful Beausoleil would be. The cabin is of the highest class, comfortable and has all amenities you need for your stay. The lake is pristine, so well looked after and it’s clear that the entire site is a labour of love to the owners. Their dedication to ensuring you have an amazing stay is creditable with their support in learning the lake and learning how to fish for the amazing specimens at Beausoleil. A thoroughly recommended experience for anyone who loves their fishing, are serious about learning to fish for large, feisty creatures and want to relax in the French countryside, Beausoleil is the venue for you.
