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.
