Winter Lake maintenance while we were closed


Whilst we were closed, 

we were not sat twiddling our thumbs, far from it! 

We have been flat out doing lake maintenance on the Specimen Carp Lake. We have done extensive tree lopping, 

and pruning around the whole lake. 

The Cat N' Carp Lake hasn't been forgotten and has also had a 

tidy up, especially around the waterline on the islands. 


All lakes have been rolled and blade aerated 

in an attempt to allow better drainage after rainfall.


In an effort to try and avoid the excessive weed growth problems caused by last years long hot sunny Spring and Summer, 

the Specimen Carp lake was drained, for several weeks

with the stock removed to a secure large pond. The lake was then refilled and the stock returned so that they could settle back onto natural food again before reopening. This lake has now reopened.


Unfortunately we are no longer able to source effective aquatic weedkillers in Europe that would have controlled the lakes weed. 

We spent a lot of time, money, and effort last year 

trying to eradicate it without success. 

Lake dye, which in theory limits the amount of light reaching

 the weed through the water had very little effect. 

Numerous other types of weedkillers were tried but without success, so at great expense, we had a digger and dumper running flat out every day till dusk,

removing well over 1000 tons of silt and weed from the lake.

Hopefully this will prove successful in removing the weed together with deepening the lake depths.

About Us

Specimen Carp Lake, West Devon, Cornwall, Milemead Fisheries

Welcome to Milemead Fisheries

Milemead Fisheries is owned and run by brothers Andrew and Paul Evenden.

They bought the rough grazing land known as Milemead in 1986.

Between them, they have built up the fishery from scratch, which is no mean feat 

when you realize that when they both started their dream, they were just 22 and 18  years old. 

Even now 33 years on the Fishery is still evolving.


The Fishery is located in a quiet valley approximately 2 miles outside of Tavistock, West Devon. 


With 5 coarse waters in total we can offer something for everyone,
from the complete beginner to the most serious specimen angler, 

with Carp to 36 lb - 5 oz's and Wels Catfish to 41 lb - 7oz's. 


We have a well stocked fishing tackle and bait shop, selling top branded stock, 

snacks, cold drinks and most of the items that you left at home. 


Please note that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, 

we are sorry, tackle hire and hot drinks are not currently available.


Ladies, Gents and a disabled access toilet are located adjacent to our shop.

We also have a new separate shower room, with coin operated shower £1 per 10 minutes.

 We are also have a separate dish washing room, next door to the shower room.

Please treat the Fishery, it’s wildlife and other Anglers with respect
Enjoy your Fishing .....
