History

The farm is owned by Dave and Kathie who took over the business in 1996 and Exmoor Fisheries was started. The hatchery and farm were redeveloped and improved to provide an excellent farming environment. Our hatchery production has now exceeded 700,000 fish, therefore enabling us to supply many other trout farms with their fingerling requirements.  The restocking production has also increased and now exceeds 120,000 fish ranging from 1lb to 12lbs, supplying farms, sports fisheries and lakes across England and Wales.

The Team

Dave Fuller - Owner

Originally from Zimbabwe, Dave has 33 years experience in the Trout farming industry working on both restocking and table farms in Southwest England. He has worked on the current site since 1986, however in 1996 Dave and Kathie purchased the site and Exmoor Fisheries was born. In what little spare time Dave gets, he is an avid sports fan, and even tries his hand at a game of golf every now and then; although his handicap is a close kept secret.
