Fishing in Lincolnshire at Mill Farm Leisure

Imagine a day by the water at Mill Farm Leisure, surrounded by nature's tranquillity, with a fishing rod in hand and nothing but the gentle ripple of the lake to keep you company. Welcome to Mill Farm Leisure's Fishing Lodges and Cottages, where fishing dreams come alive. Nestled in the picturesque Lincolnshire countryside, our private lake at Mill Farm Fishery has matured beautifully since its excavation in 2003, offering an idyllic backdrop for a fishing holiday like no other.

Lake Features and Fish Stock
Spanning approximately an acre and with depths that dance between 1.5 to 9 feet, our lake is a haven for fish and anglers alike. Home to spirited carp, some weighing in over 20lbs, along with Tench, Perch, Rudd, and Roach, the lake invites you to a world of exploration and excitement. From our Lakeside Lodges and Willow Lodge, each with their own private fishing platform, to our other cottages and lodges, all within a stone's throw of the lake, the fishing experience at Mill Farm Leisure is unparalleled.
