Been coming to the lakes for years it's always been a pleasure the only down side was I ordered food from dot cottons cafe and was told too busy I couldn't walk too far as had a stress fracture in my foot. don't need to hear that on a hot day it wasn't busy that day there was only two people on the lake. So next time take my own food and drink so if he goes out business will know why job done
Always a pleasure to fish down at Frant. It's been a while since the last visit and it's changed a little. Obviously Covid has had an effect but I was surprised to see it so quiet across all lakes mid week. It has that sleeping giant feel about it right now. Didn't get a chance to say hi to the owners Paul and Wendy but had a nice relaxing 24 hours on the bank of lake 7.
Looks well kept, nice cafe good breakfast ,good facilities shower /toilets ,They have a very reasonable bait shop on site too smurf is very helpful too ,
fished lake 7 did 24 hours in august hottest day of the year caught some quality fish really recommend it to others . 19lb 6oz 22lb 3oz 24lb 3oz
Had a reasonable first time experience,slightly spoiled by the low water levels which made landing fish very awkward.
Fantastic fishing experience, plenty of lakes to choose from and fish seemed to be in nice condition!
Excellent facilities, excellent fishing and excellent staff- what more could you ask for?
Fish day ticket had 5 carp biggest was 20.10lbs. It was wet and muddy but no one can control the weather.
I had a good day.
I don't very often fish commercials but this place is exceptionally good . Very nice countryside and good fish that fight hard. From Russell @ wildfishingportugal.co.uk
What a pleasant experience. No rushing in the early hours as I was able to book a swim in advance, brilliant as I am not an early riser and was on the lake I wanted. Bacon sandwich and coffee on arrival from the friendly cafe and purchased my bait from the vast range in the shop. They drove me to the lake and the chap was happy to answer questions on location and Lake bed. Very knowledgeable about that and the recent trends on where the fish are showing. He stated he would bring down lunch if i ordered from the cafe. Great session with a PB at 28.8lb. The chap opposite had 3 yes 3 different 30 's. Lovely venue plenty of wildlife including deer, and very peaceful. I was picked up by the owner who was pleasant and interested in my stay. Altogether an excellent experience and I will be booking on again very soon.
Had a great days fishing on Lake 4, found the carp to be very cautious, especially when floater fishing on the surface. Did catch a nice carp on a PVA rig setup though. Dropped a star only due to the snags of which my swim had a few, Staff were very polite and the shop was well stocked with all the basics,
Yes very nice place . I've fished here for 48 hours on lake 7 . Got 6 fish 2 of them 20 pound other under . Good cafe with food delivery on the bank . I would definitely go again . Downside :
the swims next to the river . To narrow . You will definitely struggle to put a 1 man bivy up .2 man bivy is a challenge.
They don't tell you from beginning which swims you going to fish from .
Fished stumps on Sunday, had a great session. Had quite a few nice carp out on the float rod. Definitely returning. Also love the booking system.
Great place, this weekend was my 4th visit to Frant and the 2nd overnighter with my 15 year old son. We had 51 carp out of lake 2 ( new record for us )as well as tench and the dreaded bream. The staff are excellent, as is the onsite café. Almost got locked in the main building toilets as I didn't realise the time and it shuts at 7pm. The swims are good with some really large ones for 2 or 3 bivvies and the fishing is non stop if you are on the right bait, we had to pull the rods in at about 1am just to get some sleep! A nice, clean and well kept fishery, and highly recommended if you have got youngsters with you that want to learn the basics without getting bored. will be back again soon.
Excellent place to fish kids had a fantastic time
Lovely place nice & quiet. Good food, good price. Nice people.
Great for fishing in the 200 acre plus swathe of land. Beautiful scenery, spoiled at first by the rather stuck up owner, who slowly becomes more relaxed. Once entering the grounds though, all that can be thought of, is the great experience that awaits!
