About the water

Mellonwatts Mill is a fishery with an approximately two-acre lake, established in 1985 beside an old mill dating from the early 18th century. Parts of the old mill can still be seen. The lake holds carp, roach, tench and golden rudd. Fishing is available to non-residents throughout the year, with opening hours from dawn to dusk. The stated charges are £6 for one rod and £10 for two rods. Anglers must hold a valid Environment Agency fishing licence and bring an unhooking mat and a suitable landing net. Only barbless hooks are permitted, and particle baits are prohibited apart from sweetcorn. Carp must not be retained in keepnets, and rods must never be left unattended. Night fishing and drinking alcohol are not allowed. Anglers under 14 must be accompanied by a responsible adult and fish beside them. Children must be supervised by adults at all times and may visit the lake and lake field only when fishing with their parents. These areas are reserved for anglers. Dogs must remain on leads. The venue asks all anglers to read its rules before fishing and states that anyone failing to comply may be asked to leave.
