Fishery FastLane

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.

Viv Shears was my Fisheries Management tutor at Sparsholt College back in 2010 where it all started for me. So, in many ways, he helped shape the path that led me into the industry I work in today.

After missing the grades needed to become a vet, Viv followed a different path into fisheries. One that would see him manage some of the most influential carp fisheries in the UK with CEMEX Angling, lecture the next generation of fishery managers at Sparsholt, and eventually co-found VS Fisheries alongside fellow lecturer Simon Scott.

VS Fisheries has since gone on to become one of the most respected carp farms in the country, supplying high-quality fish to fisheries across the UK.

It's clear to see why Viv was right at the top of my list when I started the Fishery FastLane Podcast.

In this episode we talk about:

• Viv’s early ambitions to become a vet
• His journey into fisheries management
• Managing the famous CEMEX fisheries
• Teaching at Sparsholt College
• Building VS Fisheries
• His thoughts on the future of carp farming and fisheries

It was a real privilege to sit down with someone who has contributed so much to our industry and hear the story behind his career.

 Fishery Fastlane is the podcast where we strip back the noise and talk honestly about what actually works in modern fishery management.
