Nice one Willum for the info . there's a stretch near Taverham mill which looks nice and quiet.

 

Just out of interest what other rivers is in this area worth a look? also fancied a spot of pikeing on the broads .

Feck me that was hard work. Battling through piss wet through nettles and undergrowth in the rain for a couple of hours. Worth it for a couple of small chub and a couple of hours by the river.

well, within 12 mins i had a small eel on the bank and another at 5am (ISH)..

inbetween that time i had some bream,perch and a small pike..

 

not the start of the season i had hoped for but its called fishing and not catching
