What UK anglers say.
Best trip to France in 10 years. The Bigot family are legends, the fish are in pristine condition. Already booked again.
58lb common, 52lb mirror… insane fishing.
16 years coming here — says it all.
I've fished Bigot Lakes 6 times now and already have my next trip booked. Laurent is knowledgeable and friendly. The fish are immaculate and huge.
