Sorry No Bait-Boats are allowed!

The use of Bait boats are not permitted on the complex, this is for the safety of the Carp and the protection of other anglers swims. For baiting we suggest the use of catapults and throwing sticks which have proven to be perfect for baiting up on our lakes.

Our Boilies have caught thousands of carp at to Les Quis, and the fish cant get enough of them. If you would like to bring your own Boilies, please be aware that we only allow fresh/frozen Boilies and do not allow shelf life Boilies of any kind.

Yes of course, and there are plenty of swims to move to!

There are always options available to you and you are free to move to any unoccupied swim at any time during your trip, we do not mind how many times you move it is up to you. The only thing we ask is that you let the Bailiff know as he may need to locate you during your stay.

Sorry No!

Due to the many makes and variety’s of tackle, we have made the difficult choice, not to stock any tackle on site.

Due to keeping the inside of the coach free of luggage, we have to restrict all items of tackle to the trailer and underneath the coach. Hand luggage is taken onto the coach. If you have any additional items outside your allowance these will have to remain in your vehicle at the pick up point.

You may be asked to leave.

It is within the Bailiffs discretion that if he feels that you have put the fish or other members of your trip at any risk, then he would have no option but to ask you to leave the complex. You would be instructed to pack up your tackle and transported to the local train station for repatriation to the UK at your own expense. Please do not put us in this position.

As we are a Barbless hook only water, and we care about the welfare of the fish, during the duration of your stay we may ask you to wind in your rods for a bailiff to check your end tackle, for safety reasons.

These checks could take place on several occasions, or at any time during the week.
