    probably got a grant to do this courtesy of the taxpayer. Farmers call it 'diversification' which basically means they can have a fishery, a brewery, a holiday let, or anything they want and we pay for it. They dont even pay rates.

  • @guadalupe_rodriguez

    By pulling the tree instead of cutting the tree at the base, you run the risk of punching a hole on the clay bottom. This may result in the pond not holding water. Unless the pond/lake is constantly being recharged by surface run-off or pump, spring, then no problem. These are just some things to consider.

  • @ardscorner
    @ardscorner Před 5 dny

    @benfowlerfisheries in all honesty you need to prioritise. Yes flash motors are great, but these lakes are an investment. Think of the future. With the state of rivers now, pollution, predation etc, a lot of folk could move to still waters. BUT, there needs to be more than just Carp. I'm not sure of the stock, but if you had a good predator lake then more will fish it in winter when Carp fishing goes off. You are still young and it does sound like you are spending too much on shiny things. If you sold off half your car stock, that would raise a lot of money, or raffle them? Lakes like Linear hardly ever come up for grabs. If it is your dream to own a complex, turn that into reality and prioritise your future. Don't look back in 20 years wishing, when, through some well placed thought now, in 20 years you would be well established, have a good income, and successful. However, this is all your choice - shiny cars now.........................or shiny future. All the best whatever you decide.................just one more thing, Linear is well established, has a client base, the prices to fish it work, any new lake you set up will not be ready for at least two years, take a number of years to get a client base, and will never compete with the desire people have to fish Linear.
