Ben, this is an education in itself. It makes me realise that every fishery we visit is there due to a lot of graft and frustration, let alone cost.
As for the newts. Back in the day houses had reasonable gardens and many had fishponds. These ponds, like ours, were full of newts. With hedgerows rather than panel fencing, the newts could move around and populate ponds everywhere. Roads had grass verges back then which also enabled the newts to spread out.
With today’s housing, all you get are paved, pond free sterile environments which is hardly surprising as the last thing the developers want is a newt rocking up, especially if it costs £50k to “buy them off”.
Hello Ben I worked for a millionaire and he built a big lake with island just out of Oxford on the way to Swindon. He got the Vale of the white horse contractors in to dig it at a cost of £250k back then. The thing that amazed me Ben is it didn’t cost him a penny. He applied for a grant focussing on the wildlife angle and saying it will bring in many bird species. They agreed a paid for it all. Very smart bloke and now has the most beautiful view outside his mansion. They had to line it with 3ft of clay so it was a big job.h
This wasn’t Breach lane by any chance? Similar thing happened there. Built the lake but for some reason he filled it with Rainbow Trout?

Enjoyed this video as much as any other so far. Love the content and the added humour included. Good info, great energy, awesome project. Am so jealous!
Wow - as if the first lake wasn’t enough of a battle you’ve gone for a second 😮 Total respect to you and I’m looking forward to more updates.
Mate I love these videos. I think it’s every fisherman’s dream to own his own fishery so to see someone, and that being a young lad like yourself actually achieving it is bloody awesome. Can’t wait to visit Kevs pool someday especially knowing the story behind how all this became possible for you. Good luck on all endeavours and I will be watching all the content 👊🏻
Thanks 👍
Loving the updates, another great watch 🎥🎥👍
Fast becoming my most looked forward to content. Keep up the excellent work, mate!
BEST COMMENT :)
Ben,absolutely brilliant.Watched all the fishery vids ..thank you mate.
Hi Ben, I’m delighted to see this new topic this morning, brilliant reading and entertainment, keep it up fella.
Glad you enjoyed it
Thst ending 😂😂😂. Look forward to it bud. And the other lakes 👀.
Nice job mate , well presented and interesting to watch , thanks for your hard work.
What a journey u r on, luv these vlogs and can't wait to fish these lakes.👌🔥👌🔥
Love your work Ben. Your consultants seem pretty good value to be honest. There is a fair bit more to their costs than what you see.
Amazing Ben keep the good work up 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Ben, considering you beat the Stig around a race track, you are incredibly modest - love the lake and the journey - just to help your awesome new channel along, grab a DJI mic and set the lav to record at a lower level than the feed to the camera - you can massively improve your sound and let's face it, you deserve the best! p.s - little known fact - you can connect a cheap Rode TRRS mic (the one originally designed for smartphones) into the DJI mic and it sounds bloody great. The Rode lav can then be taped to the underside of your t-shirt (in the middle of your chest) and you won't believe how great it sounds - wind proof too! All the best. PaddyMac
Top quality videos Ben keep up the hard work hopefully I might get the chance to fish either one of your lakes in the future when they are open 🎣
Had to watch the ending twice . What a finish to another great video Ben thanks mate 😂
Good work mate . We’re looking forward to you opening the lake. 👌👍🏻👌
You and me both!
this is just down the road from me, looking forward to it's opening and fishing it, keep up the good work mate!
Hope you enjoy it!
Loving the Fishery series. Keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Best of luck mate, love the passion
Keep up the good work it will all be worthwhile in the end cant wait to start seeing some stocking videos
Next video is the stocking video mate!
Proper pleasure to watch. if more young folk conducted themselves like this young man the world would be a much brighter place to exist.
If more young people were as well off as him it would be. For them.
What on earth has his wealth got to do with his personality and how he conducts himself. To make a comment like yours you mustn't be reaching your full potential. @@samuelgarrod8327
Really? and you have first hand experience of this?@@snellydrummerboy
How have you only got 20k subscribers? Great info, great editing and great storytelling. Love this!
Nice one Ben, good luck with it.
Respect the hard work. Hope it works out.
Well done mate your videos are brilliant hope it all goes well
Keep going brother. Keep going.
Wow Ben, really interesting video! The processes and procedures in regards to what you have to go through has surprised me. I’m looking forward to seeing that other lake stocked! I’m coming to fish it then!🎣 ….Smithy
Awesome watch!! We love to catch carp in Australia,, we have to destroy them once caught.. so the big ones are few. There's a new electronic rod holder perfectly designed for this type of fishing Available in Australia. TrigaPro electronic rod holder
I work in spatial planning in the Netherlands and to me its really interesting to hear about the UK process for planning permission!
classic great info not as easy as you think - fingers crossed matey
Looks very promising ben get it done
I feel your pain Ben,not on your scale but to build an extension on my house the bureaucracy involved made my eyes water,but got there in the end,now gotta do it all again now just to get my kerbs dropped at the front of my property,its crazy....great videos and good luck
Fairplay mate! What a portfolio to have! Looks and sounds like a decent zig venue as well. 🎣🎣
Nice work mate. Also I like newts
Amazing!
Brilliant videos informative and quite entertaining. Even better when your not been Jeremy Clarkson. This was your best presented one yet. Keep up the great work.
I love these videos 😂 I don’t even like fishing😭 great content tho Ben keep it up man!
Haha thanks Jack!
Brilliant m8
Very interesting and informative.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another great video pal .
Thanks 👍
Better hope there's no slow worms, they can be a problem with planning as well 😂😂😂 Great series though, I've loved watching your vids so far 🎣🎣
I didnt know that about having to remove trees . Makes sense now why most of my local waters have removexd their islands & features.
Cool project. Looking forward to following along.
Your audio is clipping a fair bit.
Subscribed to help the build 👌🎣
😂the best ending on RUclips!
Keep up the good work. i would love to see more of the projects. Just one question Why map the dept with a rod ? would it not be faster and more accurate to do it with a bait boad with dept meter ?
Its just an initial look around, we will do a more in depth map at a later date. No point investing more money before full planning
Don't you just hate it when moorhen does that 😂😂 good luck with your nes venture Ben
♥️🍺🍺keep living life fella you’re enthusiasm spread joy to others🍺🍺♥️
I know you only used it as an example but have you considered opening up your lakes for charity events? While reading the Environment agency spendings of the money accumilated from rod licences they mention a chunk is put aside for charity venues. you may be able to get help or a colaboration with some of the different organisation to setup your lakes in return opening up one weekend of the month, or during the week days when your less busy for charity events. Might be something to look into
Great vid once more tried the app did not find my usual lakes so a work in progress i guess
What lakes do you fish? I can pass it on! :)
Hi mate, reason for having to do a business plan is it demonstrates that you aren’t looking to develop to sell, usually. If you can prove something is viable then it helps build the picture for the planners. In cities when people apply for planning permission and they want to build something the planners love the look of but is totally unrealistic in monetary terms just so they can ‘sell with planning approval’ and get a few extra quid, a business plan helps prevent this.
Thanks bud! Very interesting :)
Need to get an RT4/7 on there and get it mapped.
now you are talking good luck mate
It was only a moorhen Ben !!!! Hey I reckon that’s your new nickname !!!
😂😂😂
can you please come down here in canada and open something like that ill work for you to take care of it .... great content btw
Brilliant videos, ans shows you the true robbers wear suits and carry clip boards
surprised you didn't get a company in to create a contour map tbh
or a deeper?
anyhow, looking forward to watching the journey. Best of luck iwth both projects
Thats a great idea for a future video! :)
@@benfowlerfisheries look forward to it 🙂
Newt offsetting - who would have thought it 😂
So, if you’ve already committed to the lease. What happens if the planning is unsuccessful? Surely you’re hugely out of pocket with a lake you can’t use. Or is the lease on hold subject to planning?
I love ❤what ya doing but to me its another supermarker fishery with carp climbing up the rods.
Wasn’t it easier to use a Deeper Pro/Chirp to map the lakedepths? Great entertaining vid though! Thnx
Buy a deeper you have them a card
Love watching the content would be something I would do if my lottery numbers ever come in. Whilst your enjoying doing all these projects etc could you pop up County Durham and do us a couple of lakes syndicate/ day ticket pretty sparse up here
Jeremy is a carp. That's cool
Is there any fish in there at the moment?
Can you do a lake up north please😂😂
Got a otter electric fence round it ,to go down at least 18 in or it will end in tears 😢,,
Dont worry! Were on it :)
Id love to own a big lake or pond last year i sadly watched a wild pond get filled in with dirt even tho it had thousands of carp and tench in it, the site manager told me a servay was donw on the water which showed no life in it his face dropped when i showed him videos of a keepnet with over 80 carp in that i caught a few months earlier all on bread in the margin i new i should of took them carp to my local fishery at least they would live instead of dying for a warwhouse to built on top
That's a wee pond if it was a lake it would be a Loch to me
@ben if you need a couple of professional scuba divers to clear it out give me a shout we could also map it out for you at the same time
Use a deeper an bait boat
If it 13 ft u need to add a foot on cz the marker flote it's a foot long
Foot long float what one you using mate that's a massive one
Let's see if there are... newts... then....
why and how have you got trees and snags in the lake didn't you did and make the lake it didn't have trees in it. is this a different lake?
This is a new lake! 😂
Wherr is this would love to try it ouy
Oxfordshire near Faringdon :)
@fowlerfisheries ah to far for me then cheers for commenting back and keep up the hard work
Great video Ben, wishing you all the kuck in the world with the council BS you have to put up with, they have far too much power for their own good but just goes to show that some BS newt company can still be given the proverbial big brown envolopes, good luck in your new ventures.
Weres the vid adding your fish bud
I get the frustration of the ecological surveys, having been the surveyor/consultant in the past (13yrs in private sector, getting applications through). Proving absence of a protected species in a suitable habitat is a lot harder than actually finding them! You do ham it up a bit though. We now sadly live in a very degraded country for biodiversity, and artifical fishing lakes are hardly perfect. I think the GCN tax sounds like a total no brainer for you, a seasonal survey and you should be able to put that to bed for a lot lot less. Blame the UK and EU laws rather than the ecologists, they're only applying the regs, and reasonable costs. Believe me it is NOT a well paid profession. This look slike a fantastic project though and Kev's Pool, look forward to seeing them take shape. (Happy to help if you want, will work for day tickets!)
Drives a Lambo, maps his lake with a rod :D
met je camera
take a bait boat with a depth gauge
😅
Sigma
I'm a representative from the Amphibione family. We hear you might be having a problem with some newts? If you's pay the Don £50k in unmarked notes then maybe your newt problem will disappear, it sure would be unfortunate if someone was to spot a few great crested newts around here, huh? Real. Big. Shame...
We’re is the stocking video
Its the next video dude!
This country is ridiculous. It’s no wonder it’s going down the pan. I feel sorry for you mate dealing with these ridiculous people, and rules.
Good Lord uk with the fishery.
Under water trees = snapped rod
newt credit sounds like a backhander
Newt credits = bribe
It’s been good watching these vids but charging £35 a night is way above what the normal angler can afford
Did you take into consideration the costs involved? What would you expect to pay?
@@buckrichard7690 you carnt expect the angler to pay for the build of it ,unless you built it to make money and not for the love of having your own lake
That pretty standard round my way
sorry i see its a different pool
Ducking ducks 😅
Can you not get the ecologist to do an eDNA test to look for newt presence? That may show no presence and mitigate a need for an actual survey?
9 to 10 pegs? You can fish the whole lake with 4 rods 😂
Newt credits, like kicking a dog then giving money to the dogs trust. FFS.
Why not leave the features and snages and make it a match lake? Really enjoying your videos.
Match lake will happen in the future with the right lake..
All this trouble that cause to put something in for nature, year throw 400 houses on any bit of farm land they seem fine to do 😂🤦🏻♂️
You can see why this country is on its knees when you have all this red tape bollocks from the council, literally ridiculous amount of fees with no guarantee of getting planning permission. The newt credits just made me LOL 😂
Audio still needs work… you’re wearing a mic, there’s no need to shout
Will hopefully keep improving :)
Back in the day at least Dick Turpin had the decency to wear a mask, so you knew you were being robbed.
Newt credits for real?
