The Mainline Baits Carp Pairs competitions are held at our 81 acre fishery, Upper Tamar Lake. The competitions are generously sponsored by carp fishing giants Mainline Baits. 

There is £3,500 in prize money from South West Lakes Trust for each competition. Each person who enters will get a goody bag with some fantastic Mainline products inside. 

This year there is an exciting new rule change regarding the way the final results are taken. This year, instead of all the fish a pair catch being weighed in and this being your final result, the three biggest fish from each pair will be added together and this will be your final result. So, any fish that are smaller than the three biggest a pair has caught already through the competition can be put back straight away and do not require weighing in. But if a fish is bigger than your previous three recorded fish then it will be weighed in. This way it will make the competition more open to anyone winning.

All tackle and equipment is transported to and from your swim. There is also a full menu for the weekend with food delivered directly to your swim!

2023 dates:

• Friday 24 March to Sunday 26 March
• Friday 30 June to Sunday 2 July 
• Friday 29 September to Sunday 1 October 

The competition is limited to 34 pairs. You can book your place online below.
