Only hope the Lenwade Country House Hotel has improved since we (CSG) stayed there in 2006, Fred. I did hear it had changed ownership.

I shall be visiting the river on opening day for a day or so, at Lenwade staying at the Country House Hotel, if anyone fancies buying me a pint!

Nor me Chris, but may have the odd fish.

Sorry Gasman

I forgot about that but, even so, Lenwade House is not an area I'd get exited about barbel fishing.

Lakeside, I believe, also control the Lenwade house stretch, that is the part I meant

No, there's no barbel in the Ant. Lots of Broads cruisers though! The Wensum is not a good river for open access. I'd say if you are determined to fish it for barbel, your only options are Lenwade Bridge Pub or or Taverham Mills.

Well that ones out of the question then,

Does anyone know if Barbel around the Dilham area?

Sorry Graeme. I beg to differ. I'd say that there is absolutely no chance of catching a barbel at lakeside in Lyng. NACA have run the fishing on the opposite bank for years and I have never heard of anyone catching or even seeing a barbel up there.

Anything is possible, I don't know anyone who fishes there so i can't say yes or no, but all the fish in the stretch downstream at Lenwade started their lives in the stretch upstream as that is where they were originally stocked.

So i willnt catch a barbel, or is it just very unlikely?

feeds@yuku.com (gasman) — Tue, 13 May 2008 18:40:53 GMT

Lakeside do have a stretch of the Wensum but it isn't a recognised Barbel stretch, however, it sits between two that are, the NACA stretch at Lyng and the Lenwade Bridge Pub stretch. Plenty of good Chub, a few large Bream plus some good Roach.

I don't know of any holiday cottages that provide access to Wensum barbel fishing. I think there are rooms at the Lenwade Bridge Hotel and also self catering accommodation at Taverham Mills, both of which have barbel fishing and there is info available via Google.

Cheers

I agree with Barbeltastic, the upper reaches possibly, i repeat possibly contain the odd barbel as there have been some stockings in past years. I myself have spent the end of last season hunting them in a couple of areas, to no avail, but I haven't given up hope of finding the "mythical" upper Wensum barbel. Good luck!

Thanks for the info its very much appreciated i will be taking some lighter gear for the roach and chub.Many thanks Paul

Paul. Elsing is upstream of the more prolific barbel reaches of the Wensum. However if the place you are renting gives you access to Elsing Mill, you will probably find some decent chub to catch in the mill-pools, and also perhaps the odd good roach and bream. I've never heard of anyone catching barbel there but, then again, I don't know anyone who has access to fish them. I suspect they will be very few in number, if there are any barbel at all, however I'd still be tempted to...
