I have used Angling lines on several occasions and love the ease of how everything goes.
On top of that the venues have been great and the description matches what you get. So no disappointments when you arrive as I have had when booked independently. Added to that the option to pay monthly is a great edition.
My last trip was to Lillybelle.
A great little lake with a good head of lovely carp. The bailiff Richard is superb and always on hand if you need him.
Highly recommend Angling lines.

Angling Lines - excellent French carp fishing experiences

Angling Lines are a very efficient company who organise carp fishing trips all over France from excellent lakes on their portfolio; but best of all, should the worse happen, they are always available to help, changing ferry crossing bookings, adding or changing vehicles or anglers at short notice. I honestly cannot rate this company highly enough.

awsome service

From my first emails and then calls all staff were excellent. A special mention to Jo, nothing was too much trouble for her. We stayed an extra night at very reasonable cost and Jo changed our crossing with fees and no issues. I booked ro return to lepinet whilst on the bank. Angling lines really do take all the hassle out of booking a carp fishing trip. We hit the lake on a slow week, the previous week it had fished really well with one chap taking 23 fish from 35 takes. I managed ro land 3 to 50lb 8oz, i was more than happy. Lake facilities superb as are the owners and bailiff team. Marginal underwater snags do need sorting however. Lots of people losing lots of fish to these. This is not only an annoyance but a danger to tethered for fish. For this reason I recommend hiring a boat for the 50e. It will save you lost fish. However do not let this put you of lepinet. Its a fantastic venue, tiday and beautiful. Thanks jo and the team.

I've been using Angling lines for over 10 years, most recently on 12th July. I've never had a bad experience. Staff are always really helpful and friendly on the phone and they understand fishing holidays. They sort your crossing for you so you don't have to worry about anything - except buying more fishing gear!! 100% recommended.

A record breaking week !!

Wally and Helen at Molineaux were perfect hosts on a Great Lake. The domestic facilities were spotless, plenty of hot water for the (Occasional) shower 😂. 5 pegs were fished with two doubles and the carp and Cats were making their appearance. I had a PB at 30lb on the nose and one couple who were targeting the cats had a lake record at 122lbs. It was very hot the week I was there so possibly not the quantity of fish but the quality !! Thanks guys.

Absolutely recommend

Just back from our third family fishing holiday with Angling Lines and we all had a brilliant time!
Their customer service is outstanding. It’s so easy to book online and there’s also friendly, helpful staff if you want to ring and ask a question.
We absolutely recommend Angling Lines and we’re already looking on their website to decide which of their lakes we go to for our next trip.

Brilliant website for anglers

Brilliant website for anglers, easy to book and installment options available. Plenty of lakes to choose from with reviews from each lake , due to personal circumstances I had to cancel a fishing trip and angling lines customer service was so friendly and helpful and accommodated all my wishes.
Will definitely use again and will recommend to friends and family.
My dad has been using angling lines for 13 years, fantastic site!

You can't book a venue unless you use there transportation be it ferry or train.This is obviously down to the fact you are making excess on the crossings as we have discovered when getting our own prices for crossing.Also if this would not be the case you would offer just a lake price which you don't.Needless to say we have now booked direct with our own crossing at a saving of over 132.00 per person.

Hi Millie

Sorry to read this. Whilst 99% of our bookings include the travel as people tend to find this easiest (benefits include everything being organised for you and ability to make changes at no extra charge), your statement that you cannot book without a crossing is simply untrue - we can and indeed do this for any of our customers no problem.

Usually our package rates are better or the same as public costs as we have contracts with the crossing companies. Occasionally of course they amend their rates and season date pricing but we are constantly checking and updating our costs to account for this. If you'd contacted us we would have looked into it for you.

Equally, it is worth mentioning that as a package holiday provider, your money is kept safe until after the holiday has been taken so if any issues arose your money is protected. Something you do not get when booking direct with a French business. Either way, we wish you a lovely trip and enjoy your fishing!

Not the company it used to be

Really upset with the attitude of Angling Lines. I have booked 13 weeks over 8 years with Angling lines and the latest trip was not a 2 week fishing trip on an exclusive lake but rather the fishing equivalent of 2 weeks in Benidorm. Not happy with the attitude of Angling Lines or their offer of £150 credit in regard to a £2000+ fishing Holiday. Not the company it used to be, lots of other alternatives out there and I am sure they will appreciate my business unlike Angling Lines. In response to your reply, I explained why we did not raise concerns whilst on the holiday. I even sent you photos of the bar/resturant in question to prove the point, but you still take the owners points over that of a loyal customer, and that’s the sticking point here. Yes you have lost a customer and I gave just booked next years two week trip and no surprise, it’s not with angling lines and I still don’t want your £150. You’re not the company you used to be and I find your attitude to be unhelpful. On that point I will leave it there.

Hi Mr Robinson



As we have discussed with you previously, it was a real shame that you did not bring any of your concerns to the attention of the venue owners or ourselves during your two week stay. The venue owners were able to refute the points made and are at a loss to understand why you did not alert them (or Angling Lines) to any concerns you had at the time since they had almost daily contact with you. As far as they were aware you were very happy with your holiday whilst you were there.

We always take complaints very seriously and we assure you that this was fully investigated.



Regardless of the above, we are obviously deeply disappointed that a good customer of ours was not happy with their holiday and so we offered £150 as a gesture of goodwill from us personally at Angling Lines.



We remain really sad that we have lost you as a customer, but genuinely feel there was no more we could do. 



Kind regards

Heather
