Fishing in Lincolnshire at Mill Farm Leisure
Enjoy a tranquil fishing experience at Mill Farm Leisure's private lake, which has matured beautifully since its excavation in 2003. With reed-clad bays and abundant vegetation, our lake offers an idyllic setting for a peaceful fishing holiday in Lincolnshire.
Lake Features and Fish Stock
The lake covers approximately 1 acre, with depths ranging from 1.5 to 9 feet. It boasts a healthy stock of hard-fighting carp, some weighing over 20lbs, as well as tench, perch, rudd, and roach, all in prime condition. The serene environment at Mill Farm Leisure ensures a relaxing and enjoyable fishing experience. Our cottages are located just 30 meters from the lake, while Willow Lodge and our Lakeside Lodges are right next to it, providing an ideal location for a fishing holiday. Guests can fish from dawn until dusk throughout the year.
