Seen a thread on Insta the other day and its was basically a fundraiser to otter fence Burghfield to protect stock, which is a syndicate water plus a 10 year waiting list if that is right and basically all you are doing is donating to fence a water to keep an elite few happy!! where 99.9% of us will never fish is it, whats peoples thoughts on this? I don't mind Just giving pages for good causes but if the owners of the lake were that bothered why not get a loan or increase ticket prices to cover it?

That's going to be an expensive fence.
It's down to the fishery owner surely.

Are they sure they can fence the whole lake? I thought some of the frontage was private property?
JustGiving says the target is £100.000, currently on £290

This is genius. I'd like a fcuk off massive house. Will you lot all fund it for me if I promise to put a pond in the back garden with a couple of fish in it, I will let you look at them every five years for twenty minutes on a Tuesday in March.
Now run along and sign up before someone else does.
