About Peter Rosario

In 2022 I co-purchased two fantastic lakes in France: ‘Lac Baliene’ and ‘Etang La Saussaie’ – a dream come true. It has been a long journey to this point, all starting at the age of six when my parents first took me fishing at the canals, near Basingstoke.

Despite not being keen anglers, my parents would take me fishing every weekend. I spent years fishing the canals and smaller lakes for whatever came along and would only return home when I had run out of bait. Clearly – I was hooked! At only fourteen years I did my first night and the very same night caught my first 20lb carp!

I needed to spend every spare moment on the bank. What better motivator to pass my driving test? At seventeen years, I now had the independence to drive all over the country, fishing day tickets and fished many syndicates, including Wellington Country Park. After a few years as a member I was asked to bailiff Welly and it was this invaluable experience that encouraged the dream of owning my own lake.

Undoubtedly, a self-taught angler from a young age, I still prefer to rely on my own intuition and experience rather than following trends. Getting in a boat at 2am in the cold for what is possibly a once-in-a-lifetime carp and I am perfectly happy. What really gets me excited is the indescribable joy of getting that bite on a challenging lake.

Some say owning a lake can take away the passion, however this is not the case for me –  I still cannot wait to get the rods out.
