I’ve been involved in fishery creation and the running of fisheries for almost 40 years. Your doing a fine job in the building of the lake. I just hope you put as much thought into stocking the water when the time comes. To ensure the health and sustainability of the fishery, and to also maximise your future income. There are important decisions you will have to make with regard to the stocking of the water. It’s not just a case of dropping fish in and away you go. Happy to make some suggestions if you would like me too.
Hi John, make sure you follow us on instagram, its easier to message there! The lake is stocked and we have had support from the fish farm as well as well as some other fishery owners 😃
Brilliant watch,you're living the dream. Get those power lines moved by the electricity board and build your pond bigger? The lines are 11kv aswell by looks of it, so not a good idea to be waving 12ft carbon rods and line near them. Look forward to part 2 and more 👏👌🎣
Finally I was wondering how you was getting on with this project, me and my dad are thinking of creating a lake one day soon. It's good to use this as a reference
Lovely to meet you the other day at Newbury Tools Ltd, any help you need from us do say, I’m sure some deals can be made. My serious fishing gang will be definitely fishing here when you’re open.
Looking mega mate 👌 On the off chance you’ve not started planting around the site yet, my advice is give it some serious thought first and if I could give you any tips it’d be stay away from invasive species that grow too quickly especially cherry Laurel. It grows so quickly it needs constantly cutting back & as it’s invasive it’s no good for any wildlife at all. If you plant species that are indigenous like blackthorn, hawthorn, yew etc you’ll have all manner of butterflies, moths, bees & insects taking residence which in turn will attract countless songbirds & bats which will attract hawks, owls etc. To put it into perspective, hawthorns have something like 150 insects that will use it\call it home whereas Laurel will just attract invasive species & problem species like weevils etc. Good luck with the project 👌
Been watching since your started, this is great I've been waiting for an update, also been watching your podcasts with some great guest. Keep up the good work
Can't wait for part 2! Hope you've had one since stocking! Hopefully will get to book on there in couple years! Whens lake project no2? Lol keep up the good work
The biggest problem with digging a lake is the banks leaking it took us three years to stop it leaking the soil was bad apparently we had to keep packing the side Great video best of luck
I had this problem at work a small sink hole appeared and lost a load if water we took all the stock out took out 400 tone of clay found a sand vain got rid of that put 600 tone of blue clay in there and that solved it ..
Set out a couple little cabins and rent them out over night . Charge a small fee for overnight camping or weekend rates. 😂 That’s what I’m doing. It’s called , Chain of lakes. I have 3 ponds . Quarter acre each. Well stocked .
Was starting to wonder how you were getting in after your last planning update video in summer. Its going to be fantastic when its done. Hoping you do private rents in the future, would love to come down and fish it when its done. Fab work and a great watch, look forward to your next update 😊
You may still be able to get some type of government grant to help cover the cost of otter fence they definitely used too. But you will need a otter fence to protect your business
Probably not a good idea climbing on a step ladder on an 11 thousand volt electricity pole a metre or two more and there would of been a big bang pop 😂😂. Stay safe really enjoying this fishing lake build 👍👌
It should be perfect, most holiday venues that are larger lakes normally have multiple lodges. With this you will have over half an acre of water to yourself! 😃
As an Australian I find it hard to imagine you can't go to any lake or river and catch a carp wich are illegal to return back to the water if you catch one

Build an otter fence or it'll end in tears ,,😢
Cudnt agree more
Was literally about to say the same
What’s a otter fence
@@Mangodown101 an electric fence around the perimeter to stop otters gaining acces to a free carp buffet
Only if you have otters near you,otherwise you’re spending thousands for nothing.
It's good that you are Finley building your lake it's been very interested what you got to go through
More Episodes to come! Hopefully 1 per month
The main use of Taram is to stop silt and mud blocking all the holes in the drainage pipe, it acts like a filter 🤙🏻
Good to know!
Love it! So interesting to watch and it’s great to see someone doing more for the sport of fishing (and for nature)! 👍🏼
A dream for most anglers to do something like this.
Finally I was wondering how you was getting on with this project, me and my dad are thinking of creating a lake one day soon. It's good to use this as a reference

Mate u left that on a bit of a cliff hanger with the planning thing!!😂
Don’t worry part two is coming!
Can't wait! Saw in the petrol station just b4 Xmas, wanted to say hi but someone else beat me to it.
Great watch this 👌
Was starting to wonder how you were getting in after your last planning update video in summer.
Its going to be fantastic when its done. Hoping you do private rents in the future, would love to come down and fish it when its done.
Fab work and a great watch, look forward to your next update 😊
Hey mate, amazing series! Where did you get both of those facts at the start? 1:15
Good Job👏🏻🎣🇺🇦🤝🏻🇬🇧
bros just casually living my dream...
Seeing another man live your dream 🥲
I didn’t realise you was so close I live in ciren so 20 minutes down the road
Oh amazing! 😃
Something I can watch being built and actually go there that’s cool love the videos mate
Such a good video!! ❤
Thank you!!
You may still be able to get some type of government grant to help cover the cost of otter fence they definitely used too. But you will need a otter fence to protect your business
i love the idea, im just wondering if its big enough :D
Its just over half an acre for one / 2 anglers thats actually more water than you get per peg on most holiday venues
Part two !!!!!
Don’t hold your hand close to the head when using a sledgehammer mate if you miss it,it will hurt just for future
I’m here for bald Steve
So bald
Mate this looks mega I’m a carp fisherman and wish you all the best . Where can we find out how to fish it once done ?
Hi Ross, wont be ages until we are taking bookings. Follow @fowlerfisheries on instagram
@@benfowlerfisheries ok thanks all the best
Amazing work! 🙌
Thank you 🙌
"Over 15 YEARS" 😂😂
Good video mate 🫡
Appreciate it
Need to think about an otter fence which unfortunatley is essential now.
Just built one! Will be in an upcoming episode 😄
Probably not a good idea climbing on a step ladder on an 11 thousand volt electricity pole a metre or two more and there would of been a big bang pop 😂😂.
Stay safe really enjoying this fishing lake build 👍👌
When are you buying the fish ?
Wheres the update we NEED Ep 2!!
Not had Have chance to watch yet but I fucking mic it already bro!!!!
Did you dig it with a spade?
When’s the rest of the series 👀👀
Looking good, but two questions. Do you need to uses the f word and is that cup stuck to the digger driver’s hand ?
Don’t need to but choose to, im not that precious and we think its not overused. 2 it never leaves 😂
You used the RUclipsr fishing with Carl in the pictures at the start
Too many anglers????
So you thought id build a lake with one swim! The mind boggles
Planners wouldn't give me anything bigger 😂 But i am trying to open a couple of 10 peg day tickets too
Will you be doing one night stays at your lodge?
When's the next video coming?
Let's hope it's not 6 months away for the next one
It won’t be! Hopefully in January
Going to be on the small side isnt it ?? Or is it bigger than it looks on camera ?
Heard that before 😂
It should be perfect, most holiday venues that are larger lakes normally have multiple lodges. With this you will have over half an acre of water to yourself! 😃
👀
How much money did you spend on the realisation?
Its not over yet but all in will be about 250k
Biggest problem is casting above the power lines and the otters taking the fish put up a fence
Fishing it only from one swim that can access the whole lake, unless you want to go stalking. That swim is the opposite side of the lake 😀
When's next time ?
January 😃
Get your finger out for God's sake, good luck with it looks boss
If it's not a secret, how much money did you spend to make the lake in total.😊
Don't forget an otter fence.
Its up and will put an episode out about it soon!
As an Australian I find it hard to imagine you can't go to any lake or river and catch a carp wich are illegal to return back to the water if you catch one
Very different here!
it isn't warm enough here for them to spawn like they do in Australia
What pond called
