🚨Another Major Project Successfully Delivered 🚨

We’re proud to showcase a full transformation completed at Napoleon Lakes.

We refurbished 3 old, run-down swims and constructed 2 brand-new swims, each finished with its own bespoke gazebo & weigh station.🛠️

We installed purpose-built platforms and steps at every swim — along with a new gravel track around the lake and a car park behind every swim!

This project is a perfect example of the quality, attention to detail, and high standards we bring to every job. From groundwork to final finish, the transformation speaks for itself.

🇫🇷 Busy Winter in France… Big Things Coming!

This winter has been non-stop for our team in France.

With the 2026 season on the doorstep, we’ve been hard at work transforming fisheries — building new swims, constructing quality gazebos, carrying out essential tree maintenance and storm damage!

Winter is where the real groundwork happens.
It’s the time to strengthen, improve, and prepare fisheries for a stronger season ahead.

And we’re not done yet…

We’ve got some exciting developments coming soon — new projects, major upgrades, and opportunities we can’t wait to share with you.

Watch this space 👀

If you’re planning improvements for your fishery this year, now is the time to get in touch.

Project Updates & What’s Ahead 🛠️

We have been quiet recently over social media but it’s been a busy few months for us, both in the UK and across France.

🇬🇧 In the UK, we’ve been undertaking a wetland restoration project, helping to re-establish a vital ecosystem and to enhance natural floods.

🇫🇷 In France, we’ve been involved in a range of specialist works, including:
• Bund clearing as part of a DDT requirement
• Snag clearing
• W**d raking
• Tree maintenance
• Swim construction

These projects have kept us on the move, and we’re now preparing for an even busier winter in France, with several large-scale projects lined up.

If any fisheries have upcoming projects or enquiries, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!

A trip down to Limoges had us rebuilding the front of 3 swims and de-snagging the full perimeter🛠️

Keeping the swims as natural as possible upon the owners request, we had away with the old swims and went in with the new! Including small gravel areas for the anglers rods and to play fish from, still leaving a natural area behind to set up in🎣

A huge bonus for us with the lake completely drained so we could carry out our work, a great little project which has now got time to settle, with a scattering of seed it will be ready for the first anglers in 2026! 💪🏼
