Old Mill Lakes is set in a rural location overlooking the Lincolnshire Wolds with stunning views. The 50 acre site was purchased back in 2006 by Chris Marler and Jo Thompson from the local farmer with the intention of creating Lincolnshire's finest carp fishery. Originally the site of a small mill lake and house, much work has so far gone into realising this aim. Phase 2 is already in full swing and should be complete by spring 2012. This will see the opening of "Birch", a new 4 acre specimen lake on site in addition to the upgrading of facilities with toilets, showers and shop. Birch will contain approximately 80 carp that will have been hand picked for either looks or potential for big growth. It is expected that by the end of 2012, Birch will contain in the region of 10 30's and a further 60 20's. The old 3 acre lake "Willow", will continue to be a runs water with fish up to mid twenties and the average size around the 16 to 18lb mark.
Our Aim
We take pride from being a carp fishery run by carp anglers for carp anglers. Our aim is to become Lincolnshire's finest carp fishery offering fantastic fishing in a friendly, safe and relaxing environment. The fish are still young and coupled with the huge amounts of good quality bait being fed to the fish it shouldn't be long before we achieve this aim.

We are now taking bookings for April onwards on Birch. Please note the new prices and rules for 2012. There are a small number of permanent caravan pitches available on site, if interested please contact Chris on 07767 363545.
