I get the family loss and know personally how proud you must feel to give something back and to honour your late Dad. Thank you for enlightening us with all the effort and cost that goes in to building your own venue. After watching the series, building this type of lake is not worth it unless it was maybe 10 x this size and had everything a carp needed. Snags, sanctuary, overhaning trees, bushes, a island or two, shallow bars, drops offs. These areas overtime will become natural food larders, where snails, bloodworms, mussels, fly larvae would grow. But anyway, as long as you are happy with it thats all that matters.

[@boyinthecorner-666]

Can't believe the stamp of fish in here.........didn't you choose and put them in 😂 all good fun

I cannot see the point of the negativity and barbed comments. If you don't like it piss off some where else. He's had an idea and is trying to do the best by it. And to the twat who commented about mummy and daddy's pond, his father has passed away. Feel big now. This is a work in progress.

[@strickostricko]

The point is that he’s created a KZbin channel advertise his business, to increase subscribers and views, which allows positive and negative comments to build a reputation and get people talking about his new venture. The controversy is good for internet traffic and therefore good for business.

[@garysimpson8860]

Totally agree 👍 good luck to him and it’s is land and his business and he can do what he wants with it and charge as much as he wants , I see someone said it was 890 a week , isn’t it what people pay in France for a week or even more ?

@@garysimpson8860 There’s cheaper, better options for carp fisherman. Another 3-4 years these fish will have nearly doubled in size if fed right and then it’s a different story on what he can get away with charging.

Have your carp care ready with the mat and sling . Can do more damage walking away leaving the fish on the mat than you originally wanted to treat

Followed this from the start, great series! I’m just struggling to see how it would be fishable with multiple pegs surely some islands or donut shape would have broke it up a bit separating the swims a bit more? Great series, lake and content either way :)

[@harryglover2252]

Amazing work mate with bigger fish 20+ slip the net into the sling before lifting out the water. A sling supports the weight of lager fish better then nets do. You've made a banger of a lake.

😂 U make me laugh bro.

[@bloodlinesoffire5633]

Tom turns up for a fresh out the fish farm turkey shoot 😂 one thing i will say, at £890 per week with no shorter session available is abit pricey mate.....fish filling up with spawn will prob be main reason for weight gain

[@joshmoore1053]

I agree pal I think I'll just stick to going to cromwell lakes and trent view

[@NorthWalesPiscator]

My local lakes is £10 a day you can choose between 4 lakes each lake has a good head of carp with varying average weights and a chance of catching a 40+ is not out the question. For £890 think he’s asking way too much.

[@luke_angling]

Well done wen is it open

[@bigfish74f]

Your mums ace m8 Yesterday was a different day hehee

[@gothicgorey]

Is there any trees planted ? Really needs some features to grow over time. And to make it not look like a fish farm . If it makes it harder to cast and the fish somewhere to hide the better because that’s the whole point of fishing is the challenge. Chris yates is the inspiration when it comes to fishing.

[@continentalwaterways4923]

Exactly what I was thinking. I mean nice to have your own lake and I am sure future development is planned but tbf at the moment the lake looks really not great. Would love to see it with trees, bushes, et cetera and not some featureless hole in the ground...

Kind of put a sour taste on the channel for me. Despite his content being incredible. Shame when a creator surprises you.

Water level is slightly down and looked like there getting beached at the front of the swim also into spring so could be from the flanking and rubbing they are doing more concerning there is no pushing for carp care on the hook holds and allowing zigs.

It could be possibly from spawning . The lack of foliage around the banks is a issue because they will crash into the banks. The water is not developed enough in my opinion yet. The lack of areas for the carp to hide will cause stress to them also .
