Being a Suffolk lad, Lance wasn’t blessed with an abundance of big fish – naturally this meant he started to venture further afield. It was during his time on the Linch Hill complex that he first caught our eye, catching an album’s worth of Oxfordshire carp in what seemed like very little time.

Lance is a gamekeeper by profession and that hunting element certainly shines through in his angling, as he can often be found in some poke-hole, only feet away from his next target.
