Lac d'Orient CARP FISHING adventure

What was supposed to be a week-long trip turned into an eleven-day session when my hard efforts paid off and I finally found some fish at the daunting Lac d'Orient in Central France. The weather was unkind for most of the trip, making it tricky to locate carp in the 6000 acres of water. However, my persistence paid off in the end. The blog features enduring weather and the demanding nature of tackling such a big piece of water, as well as carp playing action, tackle and tactics used and general banter with German big fish expert Christian Finkelde.
