The lake has a catch and release policy. Light rod only required 4/5/6 weight with nymphs or sometimes dry fly. Tuition available for beginners by arrangement c/w tackle.
Coarse Lake
Our coarse lake is 200m from the accommodation and is approximately 2 acres with two islands stocked with carp upto 25lbs (including Crucian, mirrored and standard), Tench upto 4lbs, Perch upto 2lbs, Roach and various Rudd . It is under fished (due to no day fishing) with no established catch method, but is an ideal place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.
The depth is approximately 8-10 feet at the dam end, with many overhanging trees in a beautiful setting.
There are three man made wooden fishing platforms.
The water generally is quite clear with fishing methods not restricted but barbless hooks, good practice and unhooking mats suggested.
We annually restock the coarse lake with 3"-4" carp (different varieties) which has produced a variety of species and sizes great for fisherman of all abilities.
Night fishing is allowed for guests staying at Millbrook.
Baits Both natural maggots/worms to pellets sweetcorn boilies and floating baits.
Sorry we do not allow day fishing - the lakes are only available to our guests.
We have a fishing trolley available close to the accommodation or you can drive round to the nearby car park if necessary. If you need help please ask.
