We recommend you use a short shank wide gape variety such as                       Korda wide gape, Nash Fang Gaper and other similar patterns as these are less likely to tear out of the fish’s mouth when playing them the reason for                     this is that these are very hard fighting fish.

8. All unhooking mats, weigh slings and landing nets are provided by Saint Amand Leisure for guests to use. Under no circumstances should anglers bring their own equivalent tackle on to the fishery.  IMPORTANT: when lifting fish out please put the weigh sling under your net once the fish is in your landing net role the top of the net then slide the sling under the net with fish in it you can tilt the sling so to tip out all excess water before trying to lift out. We realise that some swims will be easier to do this in than others Christophe will demonstrate when you arrive this is to protect the fish from ripped dorsal fins etc.
