Having spent more than a decade travelling around the world in pursuit of big carp I was more than pleasantly surprised with Boux, indeed it seems to have the lot!
Set in beautiful rural surroundings the carp are of an excellent strain and I have never experienced lake fish that fight so hard. The lake itself responds both to English style of fishing or the continental style boating approach and you are never far away from the fish which show themselves regularly.
The action we experienced was incredible and in the end I resorted to just fishing in the day as it was not unusual to get 3 takes at once. We banked no less than 88 fish, not bad for 2 anglers when you consider the average size is high 20’s and our catch easily topped the ton!27 of the fish were over 30 pound with the top 3 going 46-06 46-09 and 47-08.The lake also contains big Grass carp, Koi and large Tench for a bit of variety.I normally consider that if you average a fish a day in France you are doing well but a trip to Boux with Essex Angling Leisure might make you see things in a whole new light!!!!
