Choosing a venue is half the adventure.
For over twenty five years Angling Lines has matched UK anglers to the right private lake in France. Personally inspected venues, accommodation from bivvies to lakeside lodges, and the whole trip handled. Every lake captured on film and in photographs by Brothercarp, so what you see before you book is exactly what you arrive to.
"I came to Angling Lines as a customer first. I booked my own trips to France, with my own money, years before I ever filmed a lake for them, and they never once let me down. That trust is why I work with them now, not the other way round. The care that goes into every booking is something you feel the moment you arrive, and these are the kind of lakes you remember for years. That is why people do not book once. They keep coming back. So do I."

Your booking is financially secure.
Each venue gets its own cinematic film plus a set of social reels, made on the bank by Brothercarp. The same media that sells the trip on the Angling Lines website and across its channels.
One cinematic film per venue, three to four minutes, built to sell the trip. The water, the swims, the facilities and the fish, shot on location across the season.
Vertical reels cut for Instagram and Facebook, ready to post the moment a venue goes live.
Every lake from above, so anglers see the whole venue at a glance before they book.
