We are carrying out some Invasive Non-Native Species management at Lower Tamar Lake from 17^th – 19^th October. We will be removing the rhododendron at the south east of the site. We will need to close the footpath and angler swims over the dam. You may hear more noise than usual throughout this time. Please ensure you follow all signage on site.

Lower Tamar is a stunning coarse fishery and holds specimen fish of each species. It’s the perfect place if you’re looking for some peace and quiet and great fishing. The lake is shallow with around nine to ten foot maximum depth with 15 swims to choose from. Take a look at the fishery map on this page to get a good idea of the layout before your visit.

The lake is stocked with carp to 39lbs with plenty of fish from 15lbs upwards. The majority are common carp but there are some fantastic mirrors too. The bream fishing is superb with fish to 14lbs with lots of double figure fish. The roach fishing can be superb with fish to over 3lbs and plenty of fish over the 2lb mark. There are a few tench which go to 8lbs, perch to 4lbs and plenty of eels.

Lower Tamar can become quite weedy at times making fishing more challenging, but this does not happen every year.

The lake is open for day and 24 hour fishing but there are no season tickets.
