    Brilliant watch,you're living the dream. Get those power lines moved by the electricity board and build your pond bigger? The lines are 11kv aswell by looks of it, so not a good idea to be waving 12ft carbon rods and line near them. Look forward to part 2 and more 👏👌🎣

    I’ve been involved in fishery creation and the running of fisheries for almost 40 years. Your doing a fine job in the building of the lake. I just hope you put as much thought into stocking the water when the time comes. To ensure the health and sustainability of the fishery, and to also maximise your future income. There are important decisions you will have to make with regard to the stocking of the water. It’s not just a case of dropping fish in and away you go. Happy to make some suggestions if you would like me too.

    Looking mega mate 👌
    On the off chance you’ve not started planting around the site yet, my advice is give it some serious thought first and if I could give you any tips it’d be stay away from invasive species that grow too quickly especially cherry Laurel. It grows so quickly it needs constantly cutting back & as it’s invasive it’s no good for any wildlife at all.
    If you plant species that are indigenous like blackthorn, hawthorn, yew etc you’ll have all manner of butterflies, moths, bees & insects taking residence which in turn will attract countless songbirds & bats which will attract hawks, owls etc.
    To put it into perspective, hawthorns have something like 150 insects that will use it\call it home whereas Laurel will just attract invasive species & problem species like weevils etc.
    Good luck with the project 👌
