Junior member

 

A regular Freshwater match programme for adults throughout the season provides a friendly competitive base with a match pool of £5 from which £1.50 goes back to the Club.

Attendance averages 20 - 25 with some fine trophies donated for the matches held on both still and running waters

 

Rivers

To begin with there are 16 miles of fantastic river fishing from Earsham upstream at Waveney Farm, down to three Rivers and Dyke at Geldeston and on to Dunburgh. Waters vary between clear slow flowing crystal clear upper reaches and quick runs on the tidal Ellingham reach. Shipmeadow is unique throughout Broadlands, as being the only true tidal waters that does not have power craft cruisers on them. Deep weedy runs produce an amazing range of species and some of this is the stick float angler's dream and paradise. The pole penetrates weed to hold in tiny gaps and whilst caster tends to rule the Waveney for quality both bread and worms work wonders.

Falcon Meadow at Bungay is a superb winter roach fishery.

Still Waters

The clubs newest water the by-pass pit recently stocked with Tench Roach and Bream after stocking the swims are now being worked on and trees cleared away to improve access. This water is open during the close season and if you are full member you may fish it now. Please see here for details. We also have the popular common pond which is a great place to go fishing with youngsters lots of roach  and some very big perch are on the cards with a a few carp up to 18lb if your lucky.

Match Fishing
