your best bet is probably the bridge pub at lenwade they have 600 yrds but you can get day tickets for the common ponds which has a stretch as well good roach and chub on the common ponds stretch never short of a bite i have found but no barbel you need to be on naca water and getting on their is as hard as finding rocking horse @#%$. good luck

NOT the Lenwade Country Hotel
 Fishing is OK but the accommodation is rubbish for the prices they charge. About 10 of us stayed there last November. One of the lads did not eat breakfast on the two days we stayed but there was no reduction. When paying the bill on the Sunday morning they argued the toss over a flask of coffee that someone had not paid for. Needles to say we will not be going back. From the look of the place (run down) they need every customer they can get. Tight Lines, Wearyone

Lenwade Country House apparently reopened on the 27th June. No further comment from me on the previous owners and I've not heard anything regarding the new management.

'Big Jim'
Re.my last post regarding the Wensum, on the barbel talk pages; I'm the membership secretary for NACA Ketteringham's Fishery, incorporating the Costessey Point Project and Drayton Low Road fisheries. I invited interested parties to join and/or get involved in this fishery and had only one reply. This BFW member is now in position 6 on the fishery waiting list, is very likely to be asked to join next season and will be invited to fish on a guest ticket, as soon as the river is back within it's banks. 'Rocking Horse p***'? Well, somebody has managed to get a spadeful! Regards Mark |

Hi Mark
A couple of seasons ago maybe i would of jumped at the chance of joining this fishery. Unfortunatly no longer a member of NACA. Anybody else wishing to sample the wensum this stretch is well worth looking at. take a look at this link from the NACA website for more imformation on the project. www.norfolkanglers.com/wensum/index.html I am sure Mark would answer any other questions you may have. BFW member number 6 on the waiting list. Lets hope it continues to be run this way. Richard There not all bad |

Mr Gnome.....
Being a member of the "Lenwade Mafia", not my words, you wouldnt have got in then and certainly not now....  Mark, you may not want to go too public with those statements mate, I hear that one rattling clunk is all it takes for this to change.....Eh Chris?

Ah mr Frier
Trust you to bring the posting down mate. Cant remember where that saying came from Lenwade Mafia enlighten me. Not to many anglers from Lenwade so must be fighting a loan battle. Dont you fancy a Cosstessey ticket? |

Thanks for your comments Richard and yes I'd be happy to give further info to ANYBODY.
Nick, NOBODY is prohibited/prevented from joining this fishery. Richard may well have his own reasons or other commitments for not wanting to join, but that doesn't detract from our 'open shop' policy. Fishery members that repeatedly break fishery rules, polluters and poachers are the only people that we are opposed to. To reiterate a point, that I've made before on this site; I'm not interested in arguing or trying to score points against anyone, for whatever reason/s. I'm just interested in making a very good fishery, even better and ANYONE is welcome to join, get involved and help. It would benefit the Wensum, if we could all be more constructive and willing to work together. As usual, mail to my inbox for further info on this fishery. Current waiting list 11 people. Regards Mark |
