Fishing in Norfolk

If you enjoy fishing, the County of Norfolk offers you a wide variety of opportunities to get some serious angling done.  From the Norfolk Broads to the coastline, there are plenty of places for you to cast your line.  The Broads has over 200 miles of waterways, rivers, lakes, and ponds that are filled with pike, perch, bream, roach, tench, and chub.  It is best known for its pike fishing and even the beginner will be able to catch something.
While fishing inland, check out the Narborough Trout and Coarse Lakes.  These are located in the Nar Valley and the area has been declared a Site of Special Scientific Interest.  Twenty-seven acres of beautiful countryside surround five lakes that offer the best fishing for all levels.  If you don’t get any bites, you can buy fresh or smoked trout from one of the shops nearby.
The Norfolk coastline is filled with bass throughout the summer and anglers can get some great catches from the Wash to Wells to Walcott.  For a touch of Victorian charm, try fishing off of the Cromer pier for mackerel or wait until winter to try cod fishing out of Mundesley.  Dabs, flounder, and sole can be caught at Overstrand while plaice will hook your line out of Sheringham.  You can even do some offshore fishing for tope if you are brave enough to set sail into the North Sea.
Lastly, fishing in the Fens’ Drains offers fisher’s miles of straight waterways stocked with roach, bream, and tench.  The area is wide open and wild, making for a great day away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
