It was close to where I lived called, Pair Tree Lane. We used to take maggots for roach fishing. At the time it was just a muddy hole in the ground. Nana and Grandad use to take me fishing as well. I\u2019d only catch a fish up to 3 or 4lb but my love for fishing stemmed from there.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1069\" style=\"width: 258px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1069\" class=\" wp-image-1069\" src=\"https:\/\/www.etangdeslandes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture1-238x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"313\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.etangdeslandes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture1-238x300.png 238w, https:\/\/www.etangdeslandes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture1-768x969.png 768w, https:\/\/www.etangdeslandes.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Picture1.png 783w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 248px) 100vw, 248px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1069\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hawk Hurst Fish Farm, East Sussex<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Why did you choose France as your dream destination to own a lake?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">At the age of 21, my friend Chris and I visited France. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience and came to the realisation that I wanted to someday own my own fishing lake.
