41.12 – John’s new Pb! As any of my regular guest here at Bletiere will know, I have never been blessed with a 40lb’er out of the venue. Well I’m afraid the day has now come when I’ll no longer have to listen to the usual ribbing when another 40lb’er comes out! Having been working […]
42lb mirror falls to the new Villefond 2013 bait The 2012 season saw the Villefond bait range really excel and it definitely landed more fish than any other bait. Every winter I feed the fish with a new flavour boilie and ever improving quality bait. I choose new flavours because over the year the fish […]
Translation to help with particle baits… Most Angling Lines venues will be happy to prepare particles for you and then have them waiting for you when you arrive, as I do here at Bletiere. but if your booked venue doesn’t offer this service then this will help you buy particle baits in the shops over […]
Arthur @ 54.07 (Oct 2012) 2012 has once again been a great year for the lake and for meeting some great guys and great anglers. The lake was once again pretty solidly booked and saw lots of characters on the bank breaking personal bests and enjoying their break from work, all trying to catch one […]
Stephen Knight fished Old Oaks w/c Sat 1st Dec. Fishing was hard & he only had one carp all week… but surely caught in one of the most unconventional methods – on a lure! Over to Stephen to explain; “Fishing was hard as we had some bad frost’s, down to -6c. There were still fish […]
Well as I type this report we are midway through December, Virtually all the trees have lost their leaves, and Molyneux looks stark and bare compared to the summer months. Helen has forced me to watch Elf and Miracle on 34th street over the last couple of weekends, so I guess Santa is almost on his […]
Scott & his 41lb mirror Saturday morning and with John and Carol packed and on their way we awaited the new anglers who were due to arrive at Molyneux. The phone rang around mid-morning and we learnt that one of our parties had suffered a mini disaster as a strap holding some of their gear […]

It was too cold to fish for carp at Laroussi, so Mehdi went for the perch instead… & here’s the two he caught. Both around 17 inches long, he calls them “The Twins”. Merry Christmas!
I have been trying to master a new video camera without a lot of success and do not seem to be getting very far with it, but I will keep persevering with it and hopefully will get there. In the meantime I thought I would just give you a quick update on how the works […]
With no anglers visiting the lake in the week leading up to the 27th November, it meant another week of hard work for Helen and I which included us starting to remove the dead trees from the large island. Sadly it has been left to grow wild for a number of years and the brambles have […]
As I explained on my last Blog I’m luckily enough to have Norman’s digger here at Bletiere for a couple of weeks and not wanting to miss the opportunity I decided that, along with all the other jobs, I would repair one of the rotten bridges. These are the ones that cross the stream at […]

Measels at 44.04 Saturday 17th November; I arrived at Villefond just as the sun was rising which at this time of year is about 8am. By 9am I had all three rods in the water. My left rod was a small piece of meat on the bottom, my middle rod was a cut down […]
Well winter is well and truly upon us here at Villefond! The weather has been horrid with heavy winds, extraordinary amounts of rain and now towards the end of the month the cold weather has moved in. That said the big fish have been feeding well to those who have braved the elements and November […]
A lot of our guests comment on the Blogs I have done in the past and they like to see what’s changing here at Bletiere, so I will be again filming and going a Blog all winter. However, before I start I have to say that the filming part will follow as soon as I […]
