This "ONE" odour is what we like to call the "CORE" essence and it doesn't matter where or what time of year it is either, or even what fish you intend on fishing for, "Strike One" is all the bait you need.
That's why we've developed "Strike One" to specifically do one thing and that's to catch fish and it's all completely natural, making it safe to use in all waters and on all fish. The results are remarkable, but don't just take our word for it, try some for yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised.

All this and enclosed by mature woodland - Brilliant!
The features extend over the complete lake - an island, with willow trees & reeds, a lake bottom with many humps & troughs and a small riverbed which gives a good source of blood worms, snails etc. The depths vary from 3ft to 12 ft which means the carpest can cover all eventualities with three rodsThe lake takes 4 anglers very comfortably with a choice of swims.

We are establishing a lily pad bed which will just enhance Lac du Pelerin's beauty and give the resident dragonfly, frogs and damsels somewhere to explore, along with the mirrors & commons of course.

To compliment the water chain at Lac du Pelerin other species such as tench, roach and zander balance the natural cycle.
Lac du Pelerin is family owned and a very special retreat. As well as the picturesque lake, the whole is enclosed by 83 acres of our own private woods and fields. You could not want for a more private & idyllic spot to get your rods out and await a take. The landscape is lush, with a rustling poplar plantation, several oak copses and sheep in meadows. The land is truly unspoilt and a haven for wildlife. We have often caught sight of deer, hares, buzzards, eagles and those blue harrier jets - the kingfishers. There are an abundance array of other birds & animals - ideal for those of you that like photography, painting or just a stroll through undiscovered territory.

Our quality accommodation is set in an oak copse with stunning views over the lake to one side and breathtaking views over our marvellous meadow to the rear. The sunsets & sunrises in Poitou-Charentes are superb.

Fishing simulator - The most realistic fishing simulation game ever produced on a home computer.

---

You can catch carp, trout, salmon, pike, perch, tench, eels, rays, pollock, catfish, bream - in fact almost everything you can catch in the water - it's right here!

Although great fun, fishsim is not strictly a fishing game. It is fishing simulated. Ever caught a 20lb plus carp on a light set up and had to play the fish for an age? Have you been lure fishing for perch or chub and a 30lb pike snaps and heads off to the horizon? Anything that can happen in the real world is simulated here in fishsim.

Amazing real images of actual fishing venues such as the Avon at Chippenham, Loch Lubhair or Newquay Bay with realistic weather, local climate and real water motion effects. With more than 500 pegs to choose from you can fish a different peg every day for a year and still have over 100 left to try!

What about tackle? Choose your rod, line rig, feeder, bait and hook from thousands of combinations. If you can keep up the pace set up two rods, perhaps one on a float and the other ledgered with a bite alarm just waiting for a monster to take and run.
