Norfolk Fishing Holidays

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009 at 11:11 pm by Nigel Hannant

I am always keen to promote Norfolk as a top fishing location in the UK, whether you are a coarse, fly or sea angler.

What many people are not aware of, are the great holiday destinations in Norfolk specifically targeted for the keen Angler who wants to go fishing while on holiday. There is a wide gamut of available holiday accommodation to enjoy while taking your break. From cottages and lodges to caravans and camping.

When I was a kid Dad would always manage to squeeze in a couple of rods down the side of the Morris Marina, and stuff some reels under the spare tyre. When holidaying with a family of 5 every spare inch was needed, and he did not believe in roof racks or trailers! The car was so laden down so much some times the mud flaps would catch on the road if there was a slight bump…oh happy days!

Swangey Lakes Fishing Well - Advice Wanted

Saturday, May 23rd, 2009 at 10:34 am by Nigel Hannant

I read with interest that Swangey Lakes is fishing well, this is one venue I would really like to try out. Has anyone got any experience of the place they would like to share?

My interest would only be an evening session at best, so no camping out for days on end for me.

My very own fishing lake???

Friday, May 22nd, 2009 at 10:30 pm by Nigel Hannant

I am very fortunate to own an old Farmhouse that comes with a few acres of land, enough in fact to one day maybe dig and create my very own fishing lake! Now how cool would that be!! Surely every Anglers dream - to own his own fishing lake.

The question is, I wonder what I would stock it with…I love Tench, but Carp have a place to, and I also like Pike and Perch…I wonder if my dream will ever become a reality!!??

What would you stock?
