For years I had been playing with the idea to fish BEO. For various reasons however, it somehow never worked out. Last October then, the winter blues already kicking in, I finally pulled the trigger and completed the very convenient form online for a trip late December.

Bin el Ouidane was indeed producing good numbers of 20kg fish I’ve had my eye on Bin el Ouidane for

“I arrived at Marrakech and as ever Joseph was on time and happy to chat on the journey up towards BEO, once we were heading into the hills I couldn’t help but notice the stark difference from my last trip in October, there’s water in the streams and rivers, everything is green and the whole place just looks full of life.

The year 2018 started cold, the waterlevel of the lake was extremely low, there was snow, hale and some cold rain. Not the most ideal conditions for a good fishing trip to BEO.

It’s December, the weather outside is cold and the summer rays seem a thing of the past, the early darkness has arrived and going to and from work in darkness. It’s such a depressing time of year.

I have just returned from what can only be described as a step into another world, a holiday with Morocco Carp, a wild carp fishing tour operator set in Morocco – Africa and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish.

There must have been a point in time for each and everyone of us, devoted fishermen, when we would sit by the water and dream about all the possible destinations we could visit in the future, that would enrich our experiences and broaden our horizons.
