About Mark
Mark has been fishing
since the age of four on rivers and ponds in his native Essex.
Always striving to catch bigger and better fish ,catching specimen
chub and barbel during his early teens, then almost exclusively
moving onto carp which inevitably led him to france.
He has now been fishing
in France for 15 years, 12 of those years in this area catching
carp of 20kg+.
Mark has now moved to
France to fish and live in the beautiful suroundings of the Gorge
du Lot and is offering his services as an angling guide based
at Le Paradou. Here he is eager to offer advice and share his
knowledge of fishing for wild possibly uncaught fish in these
stunning surroundings,whether you fish for barbel (up to double
figures),chub,carp (up to who knows) or one of the many other
species that abound in the lot and surrounding area.
