    Piking on the fens.

    Thanks tim much appreciated Never fished it before but it's got to be better than the river waveney. Certainly sounds like it could be worth a drive for a day.

    Piking on the fens.

    Thanks Lee. Is the 20 and 16 foot drain private or am I OK to fish it. Didn't want to drive all that way to get told I can't fish it. Is the bank steep at all. Googled it yesterday and some of the bank look steep. Many thanks again Alex

    River Wensum

    Had a days session Saturday on the wensum. Chub were hard to find but I did have a good fight with a trout on light tackle. I just find that any good stretches of the wensum are private and the free stretches that are available just get hammered and rubbish left everywhere. Here is my catch from...

    First winter chub session

    After not really doing much fishing this winter. I was able to be allowed to fish a private stretch of my local. So it was a quick morning session loaded with hot flask and cheese paste and liqudised bread. Within an hour the rod tip bent round to produce this fine winter chub. Moved 30 yards...
