Norfolk Fishing Life a coarse angling blog

Returned to Walnut Farm Fisheries on Monday night, the first time for a few weeks and had my best evening yet!Finally think I have cracked a few things and landed over half a dozen Carp over the 5lb mark who put up the most barmy of fights. They included a most amazing coloured Koi Carp, Mirrors and Commons.

I also picked up a few smaller Crucians, it was a hoot, just a shame it was a little on the fresh side with a chilly wind.

I know I need to try another venue, but it is close and easy and at the moment that is what appeals! Any suggestions for where I should try next?

Swangey Lakes near Attleborough seems to be a permanent fixture in the local angling news, producing another recent Mirror Carp of over 30lb! This fishery is very close to where I live, so I must give it a try.

Another fishery often in the news is the Kingfisher Lake at Lyng. This has produced a HUGE 36lb 10oz Mirror Carp to a local angler from Felthorpe. These fish must be enormous! Kingfisher also offers holidays for the keen angler!

I returned to Walnut Farm Fisheries last night for another short evening session, and despite it being a little cooler, the extra hours of daylight provided a slightly longer session. I wanted to see if I could increase my hook rate, as at my last visit I seemed to lose more than I landed.

There have been very big catches recently in Norfolk venues! Waveney Valley Lakes, Burgh Castle Fisheries and Swangey Lakes are all on top form and producing fish, at the moment, I can only dream of.

Walnut Farm Fisheries can be found near Attleborough in South Norfolk. The fishery has two lakes, one is called The Canal, and I cannot find out the name of the other, so I will refer to is ‘Back Lake’.
