Thinking about building my own fishery advice needed please!!!

hi,

i have been thinking about building my own fishery for some time now and am looking for advice in all aspects.my ideas were to build a good match lake holding small to medium sized fish. a water holding better quality sized fish including tench roach perch bream rudd crucians mabey a few orfe (Notice no large carp). then i would have a water for the carp bashers holding most species of carp(com,mir,grass,leather,ghost etc...). then there would be my jewl lake containing predators in all shapes and forms. i understand this is a huge project and can not be built over night. i am posting this thread purley for any feedback in the shape of ideas hints tips ideas etc... not dream ons and all the negative rubbish.
advice and ideas like:-
what would you want/expect from a fishery.
what would you like a water to hold in speices ?
size of water. various feature you prefer to others i.e. pads to reeds, shelves to bars

thanks in advance scott

Sounds ambitious scott i wish you luck with it, with regards to what i want in a commercial its the usual stuff mate, good facilities for anglers especially if they have youngsters with them a lot of fisheries have those "turdis" plastic toilet cubicles and my daughter wont go near them, some decent shelter incase the weather gets horrible and of course a good mix of decent sized coarse fish always goes down well.

My brother in law works for the ea he reckons they can give you advice and point you in the direction of funding( in some cases) but he says they will always be happy to advise would be developers, i suppose if they get involved everyones a winner.

Good Luck

Scott,

Good luck with the fishery. As someone who is disabled and has just started a website for the disabled in particular. I would like to see things like good paths and pegs for the disabled.

i think to have a good fishery you need:

to reguarly stock fish,

hold matches (not to many tho)

disabled pegs and good paths,

a car park ( a space for each peg),

toilets,

a tackle shop is always handy,

a breeding spot for the fish(which is not aloud to be fished)

and keep the day tickets cheap,

as it puts many people off fishing there,

ect ect

Yeah. I agree with carping on. And it sounds good - go for it and good luck!

yes i would also like to say on the carp lakes please do it where the pegs are spread as on my carp fishery you cant get where you want for people on the other side pole fishing etc so keep the pegs spread (oh and keep the fishing cheap like £5 for adults,£3 for children as when i go if its cheap i go 3-4 times a week but some once a week as us young ones dont get that much money.)

Dont kick people off the fishery for some random crap* which some old fart has told you as this has happened to me many of times e.g on a peg with a bivvy with all your gear init then you have no action go to another peg where no ones on that side of the pond but like what happened to me i moved my rods went and sat in my bivvy on another peg closed by and my alarms go off and then i run to it but no old fart tells fishery owner and all that and we dont get no respect so just keep the pegs spread out so they carnt bloody complain!
