Fishery FastLane

Sparsholt College rivals reunited! I studied Fishery Management at Sparsholt College with Mark. It didn't take long to recognised how employable he was right from the get go, he was the man to beat!

It's been great to catch up with Mark in recent years, both sharing the same passions for angling and rugby! Marks story is different to most of the other students that I studied with, having listened to his calling in his late twenties, making that pivot towards his passion and making the leap back into education later than most of us.

Now the river keeper of an enormous Cotswold estate. Mark tells the story of how the opportunity of a lifetime came to be.  A true traditional country gentleman that is fully deserving of the life that was once just a pipe dream.

Rich tells his story of how his dream was realised when he found Spring Heath Fishery quietly on the market without too many knowing about it. Nursing the site from neglect into a fantastic mixed fishery with incredible numbers of big Perch and a Carp fishery which sees very little angling pressure. A great holiday venue with quality fish of all species.

I sit down with Miles Carter, fishery manager of Horseshoe Lake and director of The Carp Society.

Miles shares the full, untold story behind Horseshoe Lake…

From the unique member-led acquisition that made it one of the most respected carp fisheries in the country,
to disease challenges, internal conflict, and a period of corruption that nearly saw the fishery taken away from its own members.

Today, Horseshoe Lake stands stronger than ever before with more big carp, more lakes, and more members.

Dan comes from the 'Golden Era' of fisheries graduates, studying at Sparsholt alongside the likes of Viv Shears and Andrew Ellis. In this episode Dan shares his story that led to his current position as Fisheries lecturer at Plumpton College.

Dan has gone above and beyond to put Plumpton on the map as a recognised fisheries college, a reflection of his passion and genuine interest in fisheries and countryside management more broadly. Dan often uses humour to deliver his knowledge and experience to his groups of students, a top bloke that genuinely cares.
