Yes apologies, the audio should have been recorded on two tracks so we could mute one. Minor mistake. Each episode should get better and better from now 😃
Can't wait to see the finished result. I was so chuffed to hear you talking about the disability Access it's a nice change to hear a fishery owner making it a priority. Well done to you. Lovely job so far. Really enjoying the vids. Keep up the good work.
@fowlerfisheries We need more people like you in the UK. Genuine, Funny, got common sense and dont mind getting your hands dirty.... Honestly, huge respect.
A brilliant job so far 👍 and now it is starting to look like a proper carp lake. Those reeds and rushes are going to create some epic walls of plants for the carp to cruise along. Cannot wait for the next video which is what we have all been waiting for…….the stocking of big beautiful carp 👌 Keep up the outstanding work 👏👏👏
Love seeing an update of this! It looks fantastic! Been a dream of mine for years to have my own lake and watching you do this is just amazing! Congratulations 🥳 can’t wait to see the stock of fish you put in! 🔥
Great work mate and thanks for taking us on your journey with MUM ❤ and thanks for the banter with Mum. Please keep it as natural and not over produced 👍
Great video from start to finish, love the costings being shown, this makes it interesting as it shows just how much this has cost you to build. Love the honesty ❤ This I’m sure will be THE venue for Carp anglers to fish ! Love it, well done. Bring on the fish 🎉
binged these over the last few days and what a job you have done 👏 amazong making it accessbile thank you for thinking of others . we will visit when you open 👍
Cracking job so far mate. But don't put tyre chippings down it will get everywhere including in the lake, have a look at something like cotswold chippings, its not cheep but its washed natural stone and if you use wacker plate to compacted it it'll last for years
I agree with the rubber chippings. It's horrendous stuff. Will get stuck in boots and end up in the lake and everywhere. I think the ideal peg would have a composite decking. With a wooden panel (that can be changed regularly) to screw stage stands or put pods on
Looking amazing Ben. Can't wait to see it finished. And definitely want to bring my family over for a family fishing holiday 😊 Don't use rubber chips in the peg. Its horrendous stuff. Will get stuck in shoes and end up everywhere and in the lake. Go for a composite deck. And place a board to screw stage stands or have pods on 👍🏼
Watched this from the start you doing a great job. This one is the best soon as you thought disabled and done it. My boy love fishing but sometimes have to watch as we can't get him close. So a massive thumps up for that. Also if other lakes do it great stuff.
The lake is looking great mate can't waitt to see what fish your putting in and the disabled access is a big plus well done keep up the gd work loving the videos
Bro, you are doing an amazing job on this cant wait to see the end and hopefully get my lines wet. It's so exciting, and i take my hat off to you. Well done, be very proud of yourself ❤❤
👍👍 can’t wait to wet a line,🎣 looking amazing so far fella. nice one on the forward thinking for accessibility! Team work makes the dream work nice one mummy F
Great series mate, can’t wait for the stocking one, also if you ever plant in the water again, soak or put the pots in a bucket of water a few minutes before you plant and the soil will take on water and sink/ be much easier to plant underwater!
Lakes coming along nicely,well done. Just a heads up,that isn't a telephone pole it's an electricity pole,11 000 volts,you might want to move that by contacting the electricity board for your area,unfortunately itll probably cost a small fortune but just be careful around the line with excavators and indeed fishing rods👍
I hope this lake is open soon,cant wait to fish it but also love watching the whole process🙂..what i would do to be able to build a fishing lake from scratch,your lving many fishermans dreams right here!
Starting 2 become a watch this now brother, bit tedious at 1st but now I'm in 👍 decent of maker to turn up 4r advice.. But I think personally u got this in the bag 😉 funny n a good egg who has 1 more subscriber now. Oh, just remember that even lakes like linear looked like urs once so don't try to mimic them let it grow 👍 a coloured lake is a nutrient rich environment for growing carp.
Love watching these! Can you give me a rough idea of the cost of building out a lake like this (land and stocking not included)? Thanks and keep up the great work.
on the higher edges you can pound in some wooden pegs and put some planks behind them. put some gravel in.. and you will have some nice edges for rodpods, the rain wont wash them away, less muddyness overall. something like retaining walls
Did I see you were going to do another lake Ben ? Make it a silvers lake and then clubs in the local area can use it in the winter when all the rivers are in flood for matches !!!
THE CAR TYRES.....be very careful with them when they are coloured the colour comes of and stains every thing. A company who i used to work for installed some blue tyre chippings on a nursery playground and a week later we went back and took it all up because it was staining all the kids shoes, clothes, paths, carpets, floors.
I wouldn't definitely shave that bank up as a digger driver myself and a carp angler it would look so much better and with heavy rain it's not likely to fall away
You mentioned using chopped up rubber tyres, a local fishery has used them on one of there lakes and there absolutely horrible, there still bits of the tyre wire sticking out of them and they look so ugly in the swim, I'd rather fish on mud than chopped tyre, but it's going to be a cracking place
Cracking video mate, going to look stunning when matured. Personally trye chipping wouldn't be my choice as rubber gets kicked everywhere including the lake which could wnd up with carp eating it. 🎣🎣
Hi.. dont know if you know but the woodland trust give away free trees. you have to register for them in autmn and they come over winter. Ive jst had a delivery of 400 native trees... for free!!!
It is not only the fact that you are making a spectacular lake, but the time you take editing (on behalf of another editor) is noticeable. You measure the cuts well and you take your time with the scenes!
Fantastic video yet again, pond really coming on so much, shame there is no island in the middle or a tree trunk feature, on that bank at the deepest point put some trees there that will grow and overhang the pond creating a feature you can fish too, it will also become a spawning point
The upper level of porcelain is going to be right at the lakeside on the left so will still be easy access on the porcelain. For more offroad capable wheelchairs we have actually changed the plan to compacted stone. My landscapers daughter has a disability and he is ensuring it will be perfect for everyone 🫶
Takes the piss a bit tbh, carp fishing in a muddy puddle isn't exactly excellent fun, if it's packed out over a week then it's a shit load of money, hmrc will be happy with their cut
You’ll pay £150 - £200 a night for a 3* hotel in the Cotswolds, or £250 plus for a converted horse shed in a field on air b&b. So £250 for a 5* lodge, hot tub and fishing … that’s not bad. Take a look at mill lodge for example. fully booked at £200 a night for a shed and bed and 0.1 acres of water per swim … now do the maths! If you want to pay £40 a night, got to linear. (ps, enjoy the portals😳)
I think it’s really well filmed reminds me a bit of grand tour or Clarksons farm but not scripted which it’s a 👍 me can’t wait to see it finished good luck matey
