Norfolk has a great array of Fishing opportunities including the rivers Wensum and Yare, the manmade Norfolk Broads, reclaimed quarries and the picturesque North Norfolk Coast.
Billingford
Billingford Fishing Lakes, Elmham Road, Billingford, NR20 4RF
Tel: (01603) 261012 email: info@fishingnorfolk.co.uk
Located in the heart of Norfolk this disused quarry has 3 superb fishing lakes that are well stocked. They have been in existence for 20 years and were stocked with Carp 15 years ago but rarely fished. Wild Carp are the big attraction as most have never been caught and provide an excellent challenge. Shoals of Roach swim freely and 10lb Tench are not uncommon. The mile of picturesque river bank allows excellent access and provides fantastic fishing opportunities.
Fish Species
Lakes - Perch, Pike, Roach, Eel, Tench, Bream, Mirror and Common Carp (in excess of 30lbs)
River - Pike, Barbel, Dace, Roach, Trout and Chub (in excess of 8lbs)
