With a strong background in aquatic and fishery management — including time served as a Fisheries Officer at the Environment Agency — and as a Member of the Institute of Fishery Management, I offer practical, expert advice across all areas of fishery and aquatic habitat management.
Whether your goal is to:
- Improve habitat for wild trout in a chalk stream,
- Restore or enhance a fishing lake,
- Prevent fish mortalities caused by poor water quality or weather conditions,
- Reduce predation pressures,
- Boost native fish stocks,
- Improve the hydromorphology and ecological function of a watercourse on your land.
I can provide informed, real-world solutions tailored to your site.
Emergency Support
I also offer emergency and long-term hire of some specialist fishery equipment, including aerators and pumps to maintain oxygen levels during heatwaves, algal blooms, or pollution events as well as emergency advice and expertise on the phone or in person.
If you’re looking for proactive, professional support to protect and improve your watercourses, please get in touch
