From a highly successful business background, David escaped the rat race and has diversified into fisheries to develop Old Bury Hill into one of the most successful and well-known day ticket fisheries in the country. A keen all-round angler, David is happy fishing for roach and chub from his boat on the Thames, barbel fishing on his local river Mole, and predator fishing on Old Bury Hill Lake as well as fly and salt-water fly-fishing around the world. David lists a number of double figure zander to 15 lb plus amongst an impressive list of personal bests.
Responsible for the safe and smooth running of the fishery and its grounds, Chris is a respected figure in fisheries management, with immense experience in every aspect of modern fisheries work from water quality control and stocking practices to tree work, spawning and rearing fish. Chris is a passionate fly fisherman who likes nothing better than fishing Hampshire's chalk streams.
Responsible for running all of the day-to-day administration at the fishery including club/match bookings, boat bookings, booking carp sessions for Specimen Carp members and helping with day-to-day enquiries.
Jointly responsible for running the café and on-site shop at Bury Hill, they serve delicious home cooked food, hot and cold drinks and a vast selection of tackle and bait throughout the week.
Young Tom and Jamey are responsible for keeping Bury Hill clean and tidy and helping in the shop during busy periods at weekends. Keen carp anglers, the pair work alternative Saturdays and Sundays and are always a good point of contact for some up to date tips and fishing advice due to the time they spend around the banks talking to anglers.
Besides being famous as our predator guru! Eric also has responsibility for locking up during weekdays and Saturdays. A good all round angler, Eric is unquestionably the man to ask for predator advise, whilst his general angling abilities aren't bad either!
Rob and Wendy are responsible for locking up on Sundays and during the week, when they ensure that all anglers are off the water and that the fishery is clean and tidy ready for the next day. A keen predator angler, you will often find Rob helping Eric run our Pro-Fish Courses and Big Fish Predator days.
