Wow, what a couple of weeks we’ve had! We’ve had lots of questions on our recent posts, so we thought we’d tell you a little more about us.

We’re a fishing lake and campsite in Muchelney, Somerset. You’re welcome to join us for a day’s fishing, camp and fish, or simply come camping with no interest in fishing at all! If you’re local, you’re also welcome to enjoy a stroll around the lakes.

Our lake is stocked with carp, roach, bream, tench, eels and the odd goldfish. The biggest carp caught in the last year weighed 27lb! Fishing is currently £10 for a full day, or £8 for a half day, children and OAPs. Our prices will be changing in the new year.

One of the things we love about our lake is that everyone is welcome, whether you’re learning to fish or you’re a seasoned pro. We open at sunrise and close at the time displayed on the gate, usually 30–45 minutes before sunset. For fishing, just find your spot, set up and we’ll come round to see you. When the weather and ground conditions allow, you can drive to some areas of the bank to drop off your equipment.

If you’ve caught a fish here, we’d love to see your photos in the comments! We’ll start with Dexter, the fourth generation of our family enjoying fishing here.

Dear Facebook Police and Fishing Lake Experts,

If our so called “puddle of a lake” isn’t for you, that’s absolutely fine. Don’t comment and don’t come and fish with us.

Over the last two weeks, our team have worked bloody hard removing years worth of silt and w**d from the lake. We’ve safely moved all of our fish to the other side, dammed the lake and had a skilled team of 5+ people working daily to improve it for both our loyal customers and, most importantly, the health of our fish.

We do actually know what we’re doing.

All of the sloppy silt has been removed. What you’ve seen in some of our photos and videos is clay. You know, the stuff that actually helps hold the water in the lake. The lake has deliberately shallow margins for feeding, while other areas reach around 10/11ft in some of our secret little dig outs.

But anyway, we have absolutely loved the engagement and reach you’ve all given us, so thanks for that.

The reality is that no photo or short video we post on Facebook is ever going to give a true reflection of the amount of work that’s gone into this project, or just how stunning the surroundings of our lakes are.

To our loyal customers who actually fish here, support us and are excited to see the improvements, thank you.

And to everyone else…

Happy fishing.

P.S another couple of feet of water to go to get to the bottom of the island. 😍

I took this bit of video before the water started going back in on Monday!

After 10days of dredging, we finally have the water back going in! How long do you think it will take to fill??
