| Description:
The River Wensum in this area is relatively unfished and has an unknown quantity however this 0.5 mile of slow moving river is sure to hold a surprise for any angler. New for the 2012 season onwards we have introduced a river permit see our membership page for further details to allow greater access to this area of the river Wensum, and we intend to work in conjunction with the Environment Agency to improve the habitat in the area over the coming years. The river is currently undergoing a process of silt removal by the agency downstream in the area of Lenwade Mill and up through the fishery this will greatly improve the flow and will improve habitat in general The river has plenty of bank side vegetation and over hanging trees ideal habitat for the large wary chub that inhabit the Wensum and with the stocking of barbel in the river over many years in the Lyng area and downstream at the mill there will always be the possibility of finding barbel on the stretch. Several long glides ideal for trotting the river give many anglers the chance to dust down the centre pin for a traditional mornings fishing. The Wensum is still known to hold pockets of the large roach that the river is famous for, try quiver tip bread flake at dusk what are the chances you may just find them here ! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
