The Old Mill is more than a drive and survive venue for Carp, Catfish and Pike fishing.  With cooking and sleeping facilities and also shower and toilet (see the accomodation page for full details), it offers great sport for anglers of all ages. An excellent water for anyone who wants plenty of action, not just the odd big fish!
Set in a peaceful, rural location.



Open April to December inclusive. A five acre stream fed Lake with depths near the source of three feet and at the dam end over twelve feet. The Lake is situated on private agricultural land so no permit is required and night fishing is legal. At the shallow end the lake bed has a sandy bottom with large sandbanks along the far, tree-lined margin and deeper pockets towards the near-side bank. The Lake then runs through a large lily bed in front of the cabin and as the lake deepens towards the dam end the lake bed becomes silty.

Stocked in 2002 with over 100 fast growing Italian strain Carp a few of which are now topping the 38 lb mark whilst the majority remain in the low to mid teens and a few in the mid twenty bracket. All are hard fighting fish and a pleasure to catch. The lake also contains fifty Catfish varying in size from mid teens to around 50 lbs . There is also a large head of Pike running to 20 lbs or more. These now compliment the existing stock of Carp some of which in 2002 weighed in the low teens. The lake also contains plenty of good sized Perch and Roach. NO poisson chat!
