Best swims and carp fishing tactics

Prime swims are located along the western weed margins and gravel shelves in the northern section of the lake. Carp tend to feed actively near the transition zones between soft mud and firmer gravel between depths of 3 and 5 metres. Early mornings and late evenings mark the best feeding times. Employ chod rigs or running rigs baited with pop-up boilies in fishmeal or sweet flavours. Supplement with particle baits such as tiger nuts and hemp to entice wary feeders. Maintain light leads to avoid snagging, especially among dense weed.

Conclusion

The carp fishing forecast for Lac du Menhir anticipates very good fishing opportunities on sunny and partly cloudy days, with moderate carp activity on rainy or overcast days. Careful presentation and targeted baiting around weed beds and gravel flats will improve catch rates. The stable water temperature and consistent conditions ensure steady carp movement. Anglers using a combination of boilies and particles on subtle rigs should expect rewarding results. Wishing you tight lines and successful sessions at Lac du Menhir.
