Wensum Fishing

2011-08-24T04:41:00.000-07:00

We have obtained the fishing rights for this winter on 1km of the River Wensum.
Chub 7lb +, Barbel (only half a mile away from where chris had 21 lb 2oz barbel)
Roach and some good sized Pike.
We are offering a package for a short stay (2 nights) which includes B&B,packed lunch,
evening meal plus fishing on the Wensum. Extra nights available.
There are not many chances to fish such a good stretch of the river so get in touch
with chris/jane for this great oppertunity.
