In april we had a lot of Norwegian anglers at La Horre. The weather wasn't very good and some of them had to fish in very hard conditions.

These are the comments of Lars Holmqvist:

"Well.. i dont know what to say. We hade rain, frost, snow, more
rain... The worst weather i ever have seen. Te fishing was the slowest
they have had for 4 years!! One 3 fish were caught. I hade one of the.
The water temp was never over 7 C.

I wrote a small artichle here in norway (in norwegina...). And i
called it "winter camping/carping in hell" I think the title says it
all....

But thats fihing, nothing you can do. Weather is weather. Im back in
october, hopefulle we will have better fishing then. Until then i just
"have to settle" with out local carps here i cold norway.

I can try to do something in english when i retutn from the october trip."

Klar för årets första tur till frankrike. Vi hade bokat in swim 4 i Etang de la Horre redan i maj förra året. Att det var en chansning visste vi, vädret kunde vara dåligt och fisken lite aktiv. Lite visste vi vad som väntade…"


Remy Ekornseter also just came back and wrote an article (in Norwegian) on his website www.fiskersiden.no.

"Stadig flere og flere nordmenn drar ned til Frankrike hvert år for å fiske karpe og ha ferie. Etter uttallige historier og skildringer av karpefiske i Frankrike fikk jeg endelig tid og mulighet til å dra ned selv for å prøve. Allerede nå kan jeg fortelle at alt overgikk mine forventinger til hva dette fisket skulle by på..."
