Historic Lower Tamar

by | posted in: Carp Fishing, Sidebar | 0

Lower Tamar Lake is an historic water that often gets overlooked by anglers who hear more about the fabulous catches from the Upper Lake. Lower Tamar has some fabulous carp and a head of bream into double figures along with specimen perch and eels. In the past the water has produced specimen rudd that sadly seem to have all but disappeared.

Lee Graver fished Lower Tamar Lake, on the Cornwall and Devon border, at the weekend and was rewarded with this stunning 23lb 14oz Fully scaled mirror. Lower Tamar is open to everyone for day or 24 hour tickets.
