A new fishery

[crazynewt]

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any ideas on this:

 

My parents and I are considering starting a small fishery in Norfolk. They own a site of about 7.5 acres and are seriously considering the possibility of creating a fishery of 1, 2 or 3 lakes/pools.

 

Anyone have any suggestions as to the best set-up for a site of this size, stocking strategies etc?

 

Of course, this is all subject to the relevant planning etc...

i would love to own my own fishery

 

 

Found somewhere that may be able to help you...

 

Southern Fishery Services sound an ok place to try.

 

they do pond construction, plant control etc.

 

they also sell fish

 

e.g 3,000 3-6 inch roach rudd etc for £500.00

250lbs of 3-9lb Carp for £1,000

 

their free advisory sevice is 01252 793968

 

not sure if they have a website

 

they have an advert in the back pages of "Anglers Mail"

 

 

 

Good luck with it

I'd strongly suggest that before you do anything else you contact Bruno Broughton. He posts on here from time to time but can be contacted on 01952-691515 and also has a web site at http://www.bruno-broughton.co.uk/

 

Bruno was a huge help to me in setting up Wingham, as was Ken Crow, who teaches fishery management and who supplied many of my fish. Ken's number is 01732-851544. Wingham wouldn't have been as successful without their help.

 

Finally, be aware that there are a lot of cowboys about, both fish suppliers and so-called fishery management consultants.

What a nice thought

 

How about setting up a "tradditional" mixed fishery type pool,

 

Silverfish, perch, tench, bream crucians, even a few carp wouldn't hurt, as long as the numbers were in proportion! the sort of place you could fish and not know what you were going to catch next!

 

Get something like that up and running, and I'd make the trip up from essex to fish, (assuming it's going to be day ticket!)
