GONE FISHING!

Gone fishing!

When we get an enquiry from a new client, one thing that is at the top of the list is - what is there to do?
Well, quite a lot. Kayaking, canoeing, tennis, cycling, go karting, bowling, swimming, prehistoric caves & grottos, walking, vineyard tours, ancient chateaux, river cruising, eating drinking, markets, the list goes on.
But the two favorite pass times is lazing by the pool with a good book or the more modern way a kindle, or fishing.
We have a not inconsiderable size lake at the back of the property. There are a number of coarse fish mainly roach & carp. My husband & son Gareth recently fancied "drowning a worm" as they like to call it. They encourage two ways of fishing, a serious competition of who can catch a fish the length of a bottle of wine, the bottle must have been consumed before the catch, see photo! The second way is to drink the wine while fishing with no hook, so maximum enjoyment of said wine will not be interrupted by a fish on the line. Both ways seem to be enjoyed, & have become a bit of a tradition while fishing at Chateau Perroterie.
