The Mighty Villedon
Despite its low water levels Villedon has fished well in the latest few weeks.
Shaun Jones visited swim 21 Briggsys Cabin with his wife Emma for a 17 fish catch including a new PB for Emma at 51lbs. Shaun has kindly written an article (shown below) on his individual approach to tackling Villedon.
The lake has been visited by mainly UK anglers in the last few weeks many of which have already chosen to secure dates for the coming years, it really pays now if you have specific swims and dates in mind to contact Carmen and book your trip. Please guys check you can get the time off work before you reserve swims and weeks, we are busy on this water and swims cant be reserved or penciled in.
In December we will drain the venue and remove smaller carp and once again poisson chat.
The venues future gameplan will include the addition of a small range of specifically chosen predators to control any unwanted or remaining poisson chat after drain down. In addition there will be a number of new and exciting changes taking place at the venue together with the introduction of some new regulations guaranteed to ensure the future development of the fishery and its stunning stocks.
These rule changes will include the exclusion of the use of particles (boilies and pellets only) and will be implemented from the beginning of the 2017 season.
The Secret Garden
The Secret Garden is in its last two weeks of the season. We specifically limit the weeks of opening in order to give the fish a prolonged closed season and rest period.
This year the venue has really been recognised as THE premier venue for a family carp fishing holiday. We have introduced a swimming pool, mountain bikes and during this closed season we will be adding a further 50 new fish to the existing stocks.
Armfield Angling and the owner Jean-Noel have further plans to improve this special venue by the removal of many of the lakes lilly pads and the addition of a new platform swim at the shallow end of the lake.
Im afraid if its school summer holidays 2017 you are looking for the venue is now full as are all the half term breaks. There are however a few other weeks available during the year and we are now taking bookings for 2018.
During the 2017 season we will welcome Steve Briggs back for his 3rd visit to the venue and also Bev Clifford of CarpTalk in June.

The start of another exciting season is nearly upon us. Having endured frozen lakes and minus temperatures, the first signs of early spring are beginning to show.
After months of planning and preparation Lac de Villedon underwent a FULL draindown and then netting on 7th January 2017. The lake had gradually been drained over the last 2 weeks to leave a large basin at the deeper dam end of the lake.
How many waters can boast 71 fish over 45lb, 15 over 56lb and 2 over
66lb's in a week?! and, all in pristine condition. As UK anglers make their way to the incredible Lac de Villedon the
true quality of this outstanding venue develops its reputation as one
of the very best big fish waters in France.
