what our anglers say
about our lakes

We spent 4 days and 3 nights on Kingfisher lake. We had a fantastic time. Caught 2 carp over 20lb. Food is great and everyone is very friendly and welcoming. This was our first time at Mousehole but it certainly won’t be the last. Great facilities.

Just got back from fishing on the lakes at Mousehole and just would like to say a big thank you to Dave, Jo, Phil and Keith for a superb week where we had fun fishing and where the facilities were extremely good. Will definitely be coming back next year.

I fished this lake last weekend on a social organised by Dave and Jo.

Firstly I would like to say Mousehole Fishery is stunning!, kept in tip-top condition and going places! Dave and Jo are great hosts, and John the bailiff will put you on the right spots. As for the fishing, the fish that came out where immaculate!

I will definitely be back! Lots of big fish to go for, can’t wait!!

Thanks again to Dave and Jo, see you soon.
