A FISHERMAN has netted the catch of a lifetime in his own monster fishery.

Bruce Dale has gone from catching newts in Tyneside ponds to creating an anglers’ paradise in Thailand.

And he’s hauled in some giant catches including a catfish thought to be the biggest ever snared in the country.

Bruce’s love affair with Thailand started eight years ago when he set up a business exporting furniture, fabric, jewellery and handicrafts from Asia to sell from his then home in Belford, Northumberland.
 

Six years ago, the 58-year-old married Noon, a Lisu hill tribeswoman and together they put down roots.

They bought a plot of land to the north of Chaing Mai and developed what is now an exclusive fishing lake and tourist resort called Teak Tree Lake.

Bruce, a keen fisherman who has travelled the globe for his hobby, has stocked the lake with more than 60 different species from all around the world to establish a pioneering fishery. He said: “The idea was to create a place where people could come to one place and catch unusual and different fish from around the world and in comfort, avoiding what I have had to do over the years, travelling to remote regions in difficult conditions to catch my dream fish.
