- Ben - 46lb
General comments: Superb facilities throughout. Very well managed lake and good swim layouts. This was my 4th visit to Vaux, so with all the helpful advice i have had from Chas at the venue in the past we were quietly confident that we might be able to catch a few carp this week even in the hot august summer.
- Kevin - 41lb
The best tactics we have come to realize for this venue is exactly what the owner recommends. It is counter intuitive to what most english anglers are used to but, 5oz in line drop off leads, bow string tight lines, size 4- 6 long shank barbed hooks on 25 -30lb hooklink material with wafting or popped up baits, with medium to heavy baiting produces good results.
There are no silly fishing rules at this venue and our catch of 47 fish for the week was our best yet, a 46lb mirror and a 41lb common being the highlights (we will be back for more).
If you can, during the august hot summer, fish overnight. 70% of our fish were between dusk and dawn. A beautiful, tranquil location, manicured swims, with a surrounding tree line offering shade in the hot sun and much wildlife to look for. Also, the extra sport of fishing for pike, perch and roach is a good bonus.
