Kevin Nash Fisheries Special - Nash Off The Hook Podcast - S2 Episode 51
This week on the podcast the boss is back, Kevin Nash is in the podcast studio to talk about his history owning and developing his own fisheries both home and abroad.
Starting with his own lakes dug from scratch on the same sight as Nash HQ. Kev talks about his vision, struggles and triumph in creating both the famous Nash Copse and Church lakes. There’s an incredible insight into his fish selection and also how he selectively cultivated the flora and fauna around each lake to maximise the biodiversity and thus increase the overall natural bounty for the carp to reach their maximum potential (which they certainly did and still do to this day)
Kevin shares a very honest account of the fish kill on The Church Lake and the potential British Records that were unfortunately lost. He also recalls significant captures on the lake at the time the fish and fishing was at its peak.
Kevin talks about developing both lakes and his overall vision for the sight. He goes in depth about his success and failure as well as the various tests he’s faced. The Church currently really is the lake of dreams and has account for more PB’s then Kevin can keep track of. Kevin also shares a choice bit of information about The Copse and its further as well as his new very exclusive lake on sight.
In between the development of Nash Lakes in the UK Kevin also managed to own a fishery Lac Cavagnac in France. There’s some incredible tales about the difficulties of being a British citizen owning a French lake including a scrape or two with the French police, not to mention the madness of anglers fishing the lake week in week out with everything from near drownings to opening day dramas. Kevin talks through the fishing how the lake took shape and how eventually reached the decision to wrap it up.
As ever the podcast is colourful, humour filled but an incredible insight into an incredible man who has not only changed carp fishing but has created an equally incredible legacy with his own lakes.
