Homersfield Lake is widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best, roach fisheries in the UK. In 2017, specimen angler Phil Spinks made angling history by catching six roach over 3lbs in a single session, an achievement described by The Angling Times as “the greatest roach catch of all time.” In the same year, a member caught a 4lbs 3oz roach, and over the years, at least six different roach over 4lbs have been recorded.

Many anglers have achieved personal bests while fishing at Homersfield, including four-time world champion Bob Nudd MBE during one of our charity match events in 2022.

The lake consistently produces numerous roach over 2lbs and 3lbs, earning it accolades from The Angling Times, which described Homersfield as “The greatest roach venue in the land” (November 2021).
