🐛 The influence of ecologists
📊 Data vs experience
🔍 Simple fishery management

Building one of Britains most influential Carp Farms wasn't the plan. Episode #10 with Viv Shears10 Mar 202601:06:31

Viv Shears was my Fisheries Management tutor at Sparsholt College back in 2010 where it all started for me. So, in many ways, he helped shape the path that led me into the industry I work in today.

After missing the grades needed to become a vet, Viv followed a different path into fisheries. One that would see him manage some of the most influential carp fisheries in the UK with CEMEX Angling, lecture the next generation of fishery managers at Sparsholt, and eventually co-found VS Fisheries alongside fellow lecturer Simon Scott.

VS Fisheries has since gone on to become one of the most respected carp farms in the country, supplying high-quality fish to fisheries across the UK.

It's clear to see why Viv was right at the top of my list when I started the Fishery FastLane Podcast.

In this episode we talk about:

• Viv’s early ambitions to become a vet
• His journey into fisheries management
• Managing the famous CEMEX fisheries
• Teaching at Sparsholt College
• Building VS Fisheries
• His thoughts on the future of carp farming and fisheries

It was a real privilege to sit down with someone who has contributed so much to our industry and hear the story behind his career.

 Fishery Fastlane is the podcast where we strip back the noise and talk honestly about what actually works in modern fishery management.

The Carp Society Crisis, Corruption and Incredible Comeback. Episode #13 with Miles Carter19 Apr 202600:55:14

I sit down with Miles Carter, fishery manager of Horseshoe Lake and director of The Carp Society.

Miles shares the full, untold story behind Horseshoe Lake…

From the unique member-led acquisition that made it one of the most respected carp fisheries in the country,
to disease challenges, internal conflict, and a period of corruption that nearly saw the fishery taken away from its own members.

Today, Horseshoe Lake stands stronger than ever before with more big carp, more lakes, and more members.

The Making of a Cotswold River Keeper - Episode #15 with Mark Cameron19 May 202601:05:32

Sparsholt College rivals reunited! I studied Fishery Management at Sparsholt College with Mark. It didn't take long to recognised how employable he was right from the get go, he was the man to beat!

It's been great to catch up with Mark in recent years, both sharing the same passions for angling and rugby! Marks story is different to most of the other students that I studied with, having listened to his calling in his late twenties, making that pivot towards his passion and making the leap back into education later than most of us.

Now the river keeper of an enormous Cotswold estate. Mark tells the story of how the opportunity of a lifetime came to be.  A true traditional country gentleman that is fully deserving of the life that was once just a pipe dream.
